+## OpenShift Origin example
+
+This example shows how to run OpenShift Origin as a pod on an existing Kubernetes cluster.
+
+This example demonstrates usage of a pod with a secret volume mount.
+
+### Step 0: Prerequisites
+
+This example assumes that you have a basic understanding of Kubernetes and that you have forked the repository and [turned up a Kubernetes cluster](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes#contents):
+
+This example has been tested against the **gce** and **vagrant** based KUBERNETES_PROVIDER.
+
+```shell
+$ cd kubernetes
+$ export KUBERNETES_PROVIDER=gce
+$ hack/dev-build-and-up.sh
+```
+
+### Step 1: Generate resources
+
+The demonstration will require the following resources:
+
+1. A Kubernetes Secret that contains information needed to securely communicate to your Kubernetes master as an administrator
+2. A Kubernetes Pod that contains information for how to run OpenShift Origin that consumes this Secret securely
+3. A Kubernetes Service that exposes OpenShift Origin API via an external load balancer
+4. A Kubernetes Service that exposes OpenShift Origin UI via an external load balancer
+
+To generate these resources, we will run a script that introspects your configured KUBERNETES_PROVIDER:
+
+```shell
+$ examples/openshift-origin/resource-generator.sh
+```
+A Kubernetes Secret was generated that contains the following data:
+
+1. kubeconfig: a valid kubeconfig file that is used by OpenShift Origin to communicate to the master
+2. kube-ca: a certificate authority for the Kubernetes master
+3. kube-auth-path: a Kubernetes authorization file
+4. kube-cert: a Kubernetes certificate
+5. kube-key: a Kubernetes key file
+
+As required by a Kubernetes secret, each piece of data is base64 encoded - with no line wraps.
+
+You can view the file by doing:
+
+```shell
+$ cat examples/openshift-origin/secret.json
+```
+
+Caution:  This file contains all of the required information to operate as a Kubernetes admin on your cluster, so only share this file with trusted parties.
+
+A Kubernetes Pod file was generated that can run OpenShift Origin on your cluster.
+
+The OpenShift Origin pod file has a volume mount that references the Kubernetes secret we created to know how to work with the underlying Kubernetes provider.
+
+You can view the file by doing:
+
+```shell
+$ cat examples/openshift-origin/pod.json
+```
+
+Finally, a Kubernetes service was generated for the UI and the API and available via an external load balancer:
+
+``shell
+$ cat examples/openshift-origin
+
+### Step 2: Create the secret in Kubernetes
+
+To provision the secret on Kubernetes:
+
+```shell
+$ cluster/kubectl.sh create -f examples/openshift-origin/secret.json
+```
+
+You should see your secret resource was created by listing:
+```shell
+$ cluster/kubectl.sh get secrets
+```
+
+### Step 3: Provisioning OpenShift Origin
+
+To create the OpenShift Origin pod:
+
+```shell
+$ cluster/kubectl.sh create -f examples/openshift-origin/pod.json
+```
+
+### Step 4: Provisioning OpenShift Origin Services
+
+To create the OpenShift Origin Services that expose the API and UI:
+
+```shell
+$ cluster/kubectl.sh create -f examples/openshift-origin/ui-service.json
+$ cluster/kubectl.sh create -f examples/openshift-origin/api-service.json
+```
+
+### Step 5: Open Firewall Ports
+
+If you are running on GCE, you need to open the following ports:
+
+```shell
+$ gcloud compute instances list
+
+FIND THE MINION NAME PREFIX
+
+$ gcloud compute firewall-rules create openshift-origin-node-8444 --allow tcp:8444 --target-tags kubernetes-minion-prq8
+$ gcloud compute firewall-rules create openshift-origin-node-8443 --allow tcp:8443 --target-tags kubernetes-minion-prq8
+```
+### Step 4: Try out OpenShift Origin
+
