+Deploying Octavia in the Overcloud
+==================================
+
+This guide assumes that your undercloud is already installed and ready to
+deploy an overcloud with Octavia enabled. Please note that only container
+deployments are supported.
+
+Preparing to deploy
+-------------------
+
+TripleO can upload an Octavia Amphora image to the overcloud if one is
+available when deploying.
+
+Configuring the amphora image
+-----------------------------
+
+If the Octavia Amphora image is available when deploying it should be placed
+in a readable path with the default location being a good choice. On CentOS,
+the default location is::
+
+   /usr/share/openstack-octavia-amphora-images/amphora-x64-haproxy.qcow2
+
+If deploying on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the default location is::
+
+   /usr/share/openstack-octavia-amphora-images/octavia-amphora.qcow2
+
+On Red Hat Enterprise Linux, downloading an image may be unnecessary as the
+amphora image may already be installed.
+
+If using a non-default location, make sure to specify the location through the
+``OctaviaAmphoraImageFilename`` variable in an environment file. For example::
+
+    parameter_defaults:
+        OctaviaAmphoraImageFilename: /usr/share/openstack-images/amphora-image.qcow2
+
+.. warning:: Home directories are typically not readable by the workflow
+             tasks that upload the file image to Glance. Please use a generally
+             accessible path.
+
+Deploying the overcloud with the octavia services
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+To deploy Octavia services in the overcloud, include the sample environment
+file provided. For example::
+
+    openstack overcloud deploy --templates \
+    -e /usr/share/openstack-tripleo-heat-templates/environments/services/octavia.yaml \
+    -e ~/containers-default-parameters.yaml
+
+.. note:: Don't forget to include any additional environment files containing
+          parameters such as those for the amphora image file.
+
+Uploading/Updating the amphora image after deployment
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+Uploading a new amphora image to Glance in the overcloud can be done after
+deployment. This may be required if the amphora image was not available at the
+time of deployment or the image needs to be updated.
+
+There are two Octavia specific requirements::
+
+ -  The image must be tagged in Glance (default value 'amphora-image')
+
+ -  The image must belong the 'service' project
+
+To upload an amphora image into glance::
+
+    openstack image create --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare \
+        --tag 'amphora-image' --file [amphora image filename] \
+        --project service new-amphora-image
+
+.. note:: The amphora image tag name can be customized by setting the
+          ``OctaviaAmphoraImageTag`` variable. Note that if this is changed
+          after deployment, Octavia will not be able to use any previously
+          uploaded images until they are retagged.
