+Nodepool - Static
+=================
+
+The static driver allows you to use existing compute resources, such as real
+hardware or long-lived virtual machines, with nodepool.
+
+
+Node Requirements
+-----------------
+
+Any nodes you setup for nodepool (either real or virtual) must meet
+the following requirements:
+
+* Must be reachable by Zuul executors and have SSH access enabled.
+* Must have a user that Zuul can use for SSH.
+* Must have Python 2 installed for Ansible.
+
+When setting up your nodepool.yaml file, you will need the host keys
+for each node for the ``host-key`` value. This can be obtained with
+the command::
+
+  $ ssh-keyscan -t ed25519 <HOST>
+
+Nodepool Configuration
+----------------------
+
+Below is a sample nodepool.yaml file that sets up static nodes::
+
+  zookeeper-servers:
+    - host: localhost
+
+  labels:
+    - name: ubuntu-xenial
+
+  providers:
+    - name: static-vms
+      driver: static
+      pools:
+        - name: main
+          nodes:
+            - name: 192.168.1.10
+              labels: ubuntu-xenial
+              host-key: "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIGXqY02bdYqg1BcIf2x08zs60rS6XhlBSQ4qE47o5gb"
+              username: zuul
+            - name: 192.168.1.11
+              labels: ubuntu-xenial
+              host-key: "ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIGXqY02bdYqg1BcIf2x08zs60rS6XhlBSQ5sE47o5gc"
+              username: zuul
+
+Make sure that ``username``, ``host-key``, IP addresses and label names are
+customized for your environment.
