+
+-----
+
+## Overview
+This plugin integrates Metrics Server into the Nebari platform, allowing container resource metrics for Kubernetes built-in autoscaling pipelines within Nebari. Utilizing Python, Terraform, and Helm, the plugin provides a configurable deployment.
+
+## Design and Architecture
+The plugin follows a modular design, leveraging Terraform to define the deployment of Metrics Server within a Kubernetes cluster. Key component is:
+**Terraform Configuration**: Defines variables and Helm release for deployment.
+
+## Installation Instructions
+
+
+```console
+pip install nebari-plugin-metrics-server
+```
+
+
+## Usage Instructions
+**Configurations**: Various configurations are available, including name, namespace, and affinity settings.
+
+## Configuration Details
+
+### Public
+Configuration of the Metrics Server plugin is controlled through the `metrics_server` section of the `nebari-config.yaml` for the environment.
+
+``` yaml
+metrics_server:
+  # helm release name - default metrics-server
+  name: metrics-server
+  # target namespace - default kube-system
+  namespace: kube-system
+  # configure default affinity/selector for chart components
+  affinity:
+    enabled: true # default
+    selector: general # default
+    # -- or --
+    selector:
+      default: general
+      worker: worker
+      db: general
+      auth: general
+  # helm chart values overrides
+  values: {}
+```
+
+### Internal
+The following configuration values apply to the internally managed terraform module and are indirectly controlled through related values in `nebari-config.yaml`.
+
+- `name`: Chart name for Helm release.
+- `namespace`: Kubernetes namespace configuration.
+- `affinity`: Affinity configuration for Helm release.
+- `overrides`: Map for overriding default configurations.
+
