+## Introduction
+
+This guide provides a walkthrough on how to set up an Queuemanager.  The Github repository is a template containing a Dockerfile and Helm Chart which is used with the [Cloud Native Toolkit](https://cloudnativetoolkit.dev/) to register a Tekton pipeline to build a Queuemanager image and deploy it on a containerized instance of IBM MQ. 
+
+This repo contains the below artifacts.

+
+- `ibm-mqadvanced-server-integration` docker image that comes with CloudPaks. This image can be further customized if we need additional configurations that are part of queuemanager.
+- `Helm Charts` - Currently, we are using quickstart template for deploying the queuemanager.
+- `Configurations` - Like mentioned earlier, the configurations can be embedded as part of Dockerfile. Alternatively, they can also be injected as configmaps.
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+- [IBM Catalog Operator](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/app-connect/11.0.0?topic=iicia-enabling-operator-catalog-cloud-pak-foundational-services-operator)

+- [Cloudnative toolkit](https://cloudnativetoolkit.dev/overview)
+
+## Deploy Queuemanager
+
+- Clone the repository locally.
+```
+  git clone https://github.com/cloud-native-toolkit/mq-infra.git
+  cd mq-infra
+```
+
+- Create a new project.
+
+```
+oc sync dev
+```
+
+- Run the pipeline.
+```
+oc pipeline --tekton
+```
+
+- Enter git credentials.
+  - Use down/up arrow and select `ibm-mq`.
+  - Hit Enter to enable image scanning.
+  - Open the url to see the pipeline running in the OpenShift Console.
+
+- Verify that Pipeline Run completed successfully.
+
+- To make sure the queuemanager is successfully deployed, run `oc get queuemanager`.
