+=============
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/torproject/metrics-cloud.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/torproject/metrics-cloud)
+
+This is a collection of scripts used for deploying development, testing and
+production systems relating to the [Tor
+Metrics](https://metrics.torproject.org/) Team.
+
+While the Tor Sysadmin Team is responsible for many of the systems that
+production code is deployed on, a limited number of production hosts are also
+run directly by the Metrics Team.
+
+As far as is possible the structure of these systems mirrors standard practice
+by the Tor Sysadmin Team such that we can easily migrate systems to managed
+infrastructure when desire and time present themselves.
