+# Quickstart
+
+This guide walks through the process to install Upbound Universal Crossplane and the Ionoscloud provider.
+
+## Install the Up command-line
+Download and install the Upbound `up` command-line.
+
+```shell
+curl -sL "https://cli.upbound.io" | sh
+sudo mv up /usr/local/bin/
+```
+
+Verify the version of `up` with `up --version`
+
+```shell
+$ up version --client
+Client:
+  Version:     v0.33.0
+```
+
+More information about the Up command-line is available in the [Upbound Up
+documentation](https://docs.upbound.io/cli/).
+
+## Install Upbound Universal Crossplane
+Install Upbound Universal Crossplane (UXP) with the Up command-line `up uxp
+install` command.
+
+```shell
+$ up uxp install
+UXP 1.17.1-up.1 installed
+```
+
+Verify all UXP pods are `Running` with `kubectl get pods -n upbound-system`
+
+```shell
+kubectl get pods -n upbound-system
+NAME                                       READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
+crossplane-77ff754998-4l8xb                1/1     Running   0          21s
+crossplane-rbac-manager-79b8bdd6d8-ml6ft   1/1     Running   0          21s
+```
+
+Find more information in the [Upbound UXP
+documentation](https://docs.upbound.io/uxp/).
+
+
+## Install the Ionoscloud provider
+
+Install the Ionoscloud provider into the Kubernetes cluster with a Kubernetes
+configuration file.
+
+```yaml
+cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
+apiVersion: pkg.crossplane.io/v1
+kind: Provider
+metadata:
+  name: provider-ionoscloud
+spec:
+  package: xpkg.upbound.io/ionoscloud/provider-upjet-ionoscloud:v0.1.0
+EOF
+```
+
+Apply this configuration with `kubectl apply -f`.
+
+After installing the provider, verify the install with `kubectl get providers`.
+
+```shell
+NAME                        INSTALLED   HEALTHY   PACKAGE                            AGE
+provider-upjet-ionoscloud   True        True      provider-upjet-ionoscloud-v0.1.0   100s
+
+```
+
+## Create a Kubernetes secret for Ionoscloud
+
+### Using a Ionoscloud token
+```shell
+kubectl -n upbound-system create secret generic ionoscloud-secret --from-literal=credentials="{\"token\":\"${IONOS_TOKEN}\"}"
+```
+
+### With Object Storage access
+```shell
+kubectl -n upbound-system create secret generic ionoscloud-secret --from-literal=credentials="{\"token\":\"${IONOS_TOKEN}\",\"s3_access_key\":\"${IONOS_S3_ACCESS_KEY}\",\"s3_secret_key\":\"${IONOS_S3_SECRET_KEY}\"}"
+```
+
+### Using the Ionoscloud username and password
+```shell
+kubectl -n upbound-system create secret generic ionoscloud-secret --from-literal=credentials="{\"user\":\"${IONOS_USERNAME}\",\"password\":\"${IONOS_PASSWORD}\"}"
+```
+
+View the secret with `kubectl describe secret`
+```shell
+kubectl describe secret ionoscloud-secret -n upbound-system
+Name:         ionoscloud-secret
+Namespace:    upbound-system
+Labels:       <none>
+Annotations:  <none>
+
+Type:  Opaque
+
+Data
+====
+credentials:  1274 bytes
+```
+_Note:_ the size may be larger or smaller depending on which credentials you supplied
+
+## Create a ProviderConfig
+Create a `ProviderConfig` Kubernetes configuration file to attach the Ionoscloud
+credentials to the provider.
+
+```yaml
+cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
+apiVersion: upjet-ionoscloud.ionoscloud.io/v1beta1
+kind: ProviderConfig
+metadata:
+  name: default
+spec:
+  credentials:
+    source: Secret
+    secretRef:
+      namespace: upbound-system
+      name: ionoscloud-secret
+      key: credentials
+EOF
+```
+
+The `spec.secretRef` describes the parameters of the secret to use.
+* `namespace` is the Kubernetes namespace the secret is in.
+* `name` is the name of the Kubernetes `secret` object.
+* `key` is the `Data` field from `kubectl describe secret`.
+
+Apply this configuration with `kubectl apply -f`.
+
+Verify the `ProviderConfig` with `kubectl describe providerconfigs`.
+
+```yaml
+kubectl describe providerconfigs
+Name:         default
+Namespace:
+API Version:  upjet-ionoscloud.ionoscloud.io/v1beta1
+Kind:         ProviderConfig
+# Output truncated
+Spec:
+  Credentials:
+    Secret Ref:
+      Key:        credentials
+      Name:       ionoscloud-secret
+      Namespace:  upbound-system
+    Source:       Secret
+```
+
+**Note:** the `ProviderConfig` install fails and Kubernetes returns an error if
+the `Provider` isn't installed.
+
+```shell
+kubectl apply -f providerconfig.yml
+error: resource mapping not found for name: "default" namespace: "" from "providerconfig.yml": no matches for kind "ProviderConfig" in version "upjet-ionoscloud.ionoscloud.io/v1beta1"
+ensure CRDs are installed first
+```
+
+## Create a managed resource
+Create a managed resource to verify the provider is functioning.
+
+This example creates a Ionoscloud datacenter.
+
+```yaml
+CAT <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
+apiVersion: compute.ionoscloud.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Datacenter
+metadata:
+  name: example
+spec:
+  forProvider:
+    description: Example datacenter description
+    location: de/fra
+    name: Datacenter Example
+    secAuthProtection: false
+EOF
+```
+
+Use `kubectl get datacenters` to verify datacenter creation.
+
+```shell
+kubectl get datacenters
+NAME      SYNCED   READY   EXTERNAL-NAME                          AGE
+example   True     True    5bc1d7a9-2b1d-488c-b16f-8b946017ecde   5m3s
+```
+The datacenter creation is finalized when the values `READY` and `SYNCED` are `True`. 
+
+## Delete the managed resource
+```shell
+kubectl delete datacenters.compute.ionoscloud.io example 
+datacenter.compute.ionoscloud.io "example" deleted
+
+
+kubectl get datacenters
+No resources found
+```
