+Standalone Containers based Deployment
+======================================
+
+This documentation explains how the underlying framework used by the
+Containterized Undercloud deployment mechanism can be reused to deploy a single
+node capable of running OpenStack services for development.
+
+
+Deploying a Standalone Keystone node
+------------------------------------
+
+#. Log into your machine (baremetal or VM) where you want to install the
+   standalone services on as a non-root user.::
+
+       ssh <non-root-user>@<machine>
+
+#. Enable needed repositories:
+
+   .. admonition:: RHEL
+      :class: rhel
+
+      Enable optional repo::
+
+          sudo yum install -y yum-utils
+          sudo yum-config-manager --enable rhelosp-rhel-7-server-opt
+
+   .. include:: ../repositories.txt
+
+#. Install the TripleO CLI, which will pull in all other necessary packages as dependencies::
+
+    sudo yum install -y python-tripleoclient
+
+#. Specify required parameters for network configuration::
+
+    # TODO(aschultz): This still assumes a bunch of undercloud stuff that may
+    # not be needed anymore. Will need to clean this up.
