+= About the custom installation
+
+The custom installation is divided into four phases:
+
+* Initialization, where you create and customize the installation configuration
+file 
+* Rendering, where you provide YAML files that describe further customizations
+* Preparing, where the system creates assets based on the rendered data
+* Launching, where you create the cluster in your cloud.
+
+During initialization, you generate and customize a cluster configuration file that
+defines high level configuration and topology and specifies your cloud provider
+credentials. This configuration file contains a limited set of parameters that
+most clusters require.
+
+During rendering, you do a thing with a bunch of yaml files that allows you to
+provide more customization to your cluster. You can specify ...
+
+During the preparing phase, the assets that you render...
+
+Finally, you launch the installation. The installer first creates the
+infrastructure for the cluster, such as the load balancers, security groups, and
+VPCs, and then creates an initial configuration on a bootstrap master node.
+The bootstrap master then completes the configuration of the cluster by 
+self-configuring and loading other components. By default, all the cluster nodes
+run Red Hat CoreOS as the operating system.
+
+After the installation and configuration process is complete, instructions for 
+connecting to the cluster displays.
