 # Charmed Aether SD-Core
 
+<<<<<<< Updated upstream
 Aether SD-Core is a 5G core network, responsible for the 5G Network's control operations: Authentication, IP assignment, Policy management, Quality of Service, Slice management, and more.
 
 Charmed Aether SD-Core automates the operations of Aether SD-Core, making it easy to deploy, upgrade and observe.
 
 Charmed Aether SD-Core exists because mobile networks are traditionally costly and difficult to operate and that open source alternatives are either too complex or unsecure. The project combines ONF's 5G expertise with Juju model driven operations.
 
 Charmed Aether SD-Core is for private mobile networks operators and all connectivity enthusiasts. Use it in your farm, mine or oil rig, wherever you need 5G connectivity.
+=======
+Aether SD-Core is an open source 5G core network distributed by the Linux Foundation as part of its Aether directed fund project. SD-Core (Software-Defined Core) was previously distributed by the Open Networking Foundation (ONF).
+
+Aether SD-Core addresses the need for a cost-effective open source 5G core network, as opposed to traditionally costly mobile networking software. It supports various functionalities, including user authentication, IP address assignment, data traffic policy management, quality of service assurance, and network slice management.
+
+A 5G core network consists of multiple micro-services, each with its own set of configurations and service interfaces. This makes it complex to deploy and operate a 5G network. Charmed Aether SD-Core is an open source 5G core network solution, which is easy to deploy and manage. By leveraging Canonical's [Juju software orchestration framework](https://juju.is/), it brings full automation to Aether SD-Core micro services. It is also fully observable as it offers frictionless integration with [Canonical Observability Stack](https://ubuntu.com/observability), which is a combination of open source observability software components deployed and automated as a bundle.
+
+Charmed Aether SD-Core is for private mobile networks. It offers a cost-effective and easy-to-use core networking solution for any enterprise that needs on-site 5G mobile network connectivity for their devices and personnel. It is also the ideal open source distribution for any technology enthusiast who would like to deploy and test a 5G mobile network for their own connectivity needs. Use it in your farm, mine or oil rig, wherever you need 5G connectivity.

 # Public Clouds
 
+<<<<<<< Updated upstream
 It is not possible to deploy SD-Core on AWS, Microsoft Azure or GCP using their managed Kubernetes services. None of them support the SCTP protocol on load balancers, which prevents the gNodeB from communicating with the AMF.

+MicroK8s is the preferred Kubernetes distribution for SD-Core.
+=======
+Charmed Aether SD-Core is deployable on Kubernetes platforms. MicroK8s is the preferred Kubernetes distribution for SD-Core, and has been tested extensively.
+
+Even though SD-Core can be deployed on managed Kubernetes services offered on public cloud platforms (Microsoft AKS, Amazon EKS,and Google GKE), these platforms do not support SCTP traffic on their load balancers, yet SCTP is essential for the traffic between AMF and gNBs. However, on AWS, it is possible to deploy a VM, install MicroK8s, and expose an SCTP load balancer, which then allows for SCTP connection to an external gNB.

 In this tutorial, we will deploy and run the SD-Core 5G core network using Juju and Terraform.
 As part of this tutorial, we will also deploy additional components (gNB Simulator - a 5G radio
 and a cellphone simulator, SD-Core Router - a software router facilitating communication between
 the core and the Radio Access Network (RAN)) to simulate usage of this network. Both gNB Simulator
 and SD-Core Router serve only demonstration purposes and shouldn't be part of production
 deployments.
