+
+====
+Rook
+====
+
+Rook (https://rook.io/) is an orchestration tool that can run Ceph inside
+a Kubernetes cluster.
+
+The ``rook`` module provides integration between Ceph's orchestrator framework
+(used by modules such as ``dashboard`` to control cluster services) and
+Rook.
+
+Orchestrator modules only provide services to other modules, which in turn
+provide user interfaces. To try out the rook module, you might like
+to use the :ref:`Orchestrator CLI <orchestrator-cli-module>` module.
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+- Running ceph-mon and ceph-mgr services that were set up with Rook in
+ Kubernetes.
+- Rook 0.9 or newer.
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+Because a Rook cluster's ceph-mgr daemon is running as a Kubernetes pod,
+the ``rook`` module can connect to the Kubernetes API without any explicit
+configuration.
+
+Development
+-----------
+
+If you are a developer, please see :ref:`kubernetes-dev` for instructions
+on setting up a development environment to work with this.
