+# What is Testflinger?
+
+Testflinger is a system for orchestrating the time-sharing of access to a pool of target machines.
+
+Each Testflinger system consists of:
+
+- a web service (called just Testflinger) that provides an API to request jobs by placing them on a queue
+- per machine agents that wait for jobs to placed on queues they can service and then process them
+
+Jobs can be either fully automated scripts that can attempt to complete within the allocated time or interactive shell sessions.
+
+The Testflinger system is particular useful for sharing finite machine resources between different consumers in a predictable fashion.
+
+Typically this has been used for managing a test lab where CI/CD test runs and also exploratory testing by human operators is desired.
+
+# Documentation
+
+You can find more information and documentation on the [Testflinger Documentation Page](https://testflinger.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
+
+# Content of this repository
+
+A full deployment of testflinger consists of the following components:
+
+- `Testflinger Server`: The API server, and Web UI
+- `Testflinger Agent`: Requests and processes jobs from associated queues on the server on behalf of a device
+- `Testflinger Device Connectors`: Handles provisioning and other device-specific details for each type of device
+- `Testflinger CLI`: The command-line tool for submitting jobs, checking status of jobs, and retreiving results
+
+This monorepo is organized in a way that is consistant with the components described above:
