+# TPU Provisioner Admission Controller
+
+This is a custom k8s admission controller that can be paired with the TPU provisioner
+to dynamically inject node selectors into a Job's pod template based on environment
+variables. The TPU provisioner will then provision slices based on the values of
+these node selectors.
+
+**NOTE**: This is not a generalized solution that works out of the box for any user - the values
+injected by the admission controller are just examples that the user is responsible
+for changing to fit their use case.
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+|- admission_controller.py (mutating webhook)
+|- certificates (add TLS certificates here)
+|- manifests (deployment manifest for admission controller)
+|- test (unit tests)
+| - tests
+|   |-- admission_controller_test.py (unit tests)
+|   |-- manual_e2e/ (JobSet manifests for manual e2e tests)
+|       | ...
+```
+
+### Prepare container image
+
+1. Build container image: `docker build admission-controller -f Dockerfile .`
+2. Tag container image: `docker tag admission-controller gcr.io/${PROJECT}/admission-controller:v0.1.0`
+2. Push container image: `docker push gcr.io/${PROJECT}/admission-controller:v0.1.0`
+
+Update the Deployment in `manifests/manifest.yaml` with this container image.
+
+### Run Unit tests
+
+This project uses [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org) for unit testing.
+
+To run unit tests, run the command `pytest` from the `admission_controller/` directory.
+
+### Run E2E tests
+
+E2E testing is currently done manually via the following steps:
+
+1. [Install JobSet](https://jobset.sigs.k8s.io/docs/installation/)
+2. **Deploy admission controller**: Run `kubectl apply -f manifests/` from the `admission_controller/` directory.
+3. **Create a test JobSet**: Run `kubectl apply -f test/test-jobset.yaml`
+4. **Check Jobs were mutated correctly**: Run `kubectl describe jobs` and view the nodeSelectors in the pod template.
