# Node Feature Discovery

Welcome to Node Feature Discovery -- a Kubernetes add-on for detecting hardware
features and system configuration!

Continue to:

- **[Introduction](introduction.md)** for more details on the
  project.

- **[Quick start](quick-start.md)** for quick step-by-step
  instructions on how to get NFD running on your cluster.

## Quick-start -- the short-short version

```bash
$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-sigs/node-feature-discovery/{{ site.release }}/nfd-master.yaml.template
  namespace/node-feature-discovery created
...

$ kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-sigs/node-feature-discovery/{{ site.release }}/nfd-worker-daemonset.yaml.template
  daemonset.apps/nfd-worker created

$ kubectl -n node-feature-discovery get all
