-Getting Started
----------------
-
-Kappa is a command line tool.  The basic command format is:
-
-    kappa <path to config file> <command> [optional command args]
-
-Where ``command`` is one of:
-
-* deploy - does whatever is required to deploy the current version of your
-  Lambda function such as creating/updating policies and roles and creating or
-  updating the function itself
-* delete - delete the Lambda function, remove any event sources, delete the IAM
-  policy and role
-* invoke - make a synchronous call to your Lambda function, passing test data
-  and display the resulting log data
-* invoke_async - make an asynchronous call to your Lambda function passing test
-  data.
-* dryrun - make the call but only check things like permissions and report
-  back.  Don't actually run the code.
-* tail - display the most recent log events for the function (remember that it
-  can take several minutes before log events are available from CloudWatch)
-* add_event_sources - hook up an event source to your Lambda function
-* update_event_sources - Update the event sources based on the information in
-  your kappa config file
-* status - display summary information about functions, stacks, and event
-  sources related to your project.
-
-The ``config file`` is a YAML format file containing all of the information
-about your Lambda function.
-
-If you use environment variables for your AWS credentials (as normally supported by boto),
-simply exclude the ``profile`` element from the YAML file.
-
-An example project based on a Kinesis stream can be found in
-[samples/kinesis](https://github.com/garnaat/kappa/tree/develop/samples/kinesis).
-
-The basic workflow is:
-
-* Create your Lambda function
-* Create any custom IAM policy you need to execute your Lambda function
-* Create some sample data
-* Create the YAML config file with all of the information
-* Run ``kappa <path-to-config> deploy`` to create roles and upload function
-* Run ``kappa <path-to-config> test`` to invoke the function with test data
-* Run ``kappa <path-to-config> deploy`` to upload new code for your Lambda
-  function
-* Run ``kappa <path-to-config> add_event_sources`` to hook your function up to the event source
-* Run ``kappa <path-to-config> tail`` to see more output
+Quick Start
+-----------
+
+To get a feel for how kappa works, let's take a look at a very simple example
+contained in the ``samples/simple`` directory of the kappa distribution.  This
+example is so simple, in fact, that it doesn't really do anything.  It's just a
+small Lambda function (written in Python) that accepts some JSON input, logs
+that input to CloudWatch logs, and returns a JSON document back.
+
+The structure of the directory is:
+
+```
+simple/
+├── _src
+│   ├── README.md
+│   ├── requirements.txt
+│   ├── setup.cfg
+│   └── simple.py
+├── _tests
+│   └── test_one.json
+└── kappa.yml.sample
+```
+
+Within the directory we see:
+
+* kappa.yml.sample which is a sample YAML configuration file for the project
+* _src which is a directory containing the source code for the Lambda function
+* _test which is a directory containing some test data
+
+The first step is to make a copy of the sample configuration file:
+
+    $ cd simple
+    $ cp kappa.yml.simple kappa.yml
+
+Now you will need to edit ``kappa.yml`` slightly for your use.  The file looks
+like this:
+
+```
+---
+name: kappa-simple
+environments:
+  dev:
+    profile: <your profile here>
+    region: <your region here>
+    policy:
+      resources:
+        - arn: arn:aws:logs:*:*:*
+          actions:
+          - "*"
+  prod:
+    profile: <your profile here>
+    region: <your region here>
+    policy:
+      resources:
+        - arn: arn:aws:logs:*:*:*
+          actions:
+          - "*"
+lambda:    
+  description: A very simple Kappa example
+  handler: simple.handler
+  runtime: python2.7
+  memory_size: 128
+  timeout: 3
+```
+
+The ``name`` at the top is just a name used for this Lambda function and other
+things we create that are related to this Lambda function (e.g. roles,
+policies, etc.).
+
+The ``environments`` section is where we define the different environments into
+which we wish to deploy this Lambda function.  Each environment is identified
+by a ``profile`` (as used in the AWS CLI and other AWS tools) and a
+``region``.  You can define as many environments as you wish but each
+invocation of ``kappa`` will deal with a single environment.  Each environment
+section also includes a ``policy`` section.  This is where we tell kappa about
+AWS resources that our Lambda function needs access to and what kind of access
+it requires.  For example, your Lambda function may need to read from an SNS
+topic or write to a DynamoDB table and this is where you would provide the ARN
+([Amazon Resource Name](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html))
+that identify those resources.  Since this is a very simple example, the only
+resource listed here is for CloudWatch logs so that our Lambda function is able
+to write to the CloudWatch log group that will be created for it automatically
+by AWS Lambda.
+
+The ``lambda`` section contains the configuration information about our Lambda
+function.  These values are passed to Lambda when we create the function and
+can be updated at any time after.
+
+To modify this for your own use, you just need to put in the right values for
+``profile`` and ``region`` in one of the environment sections.  You can also
+change the names of the environments to be whatever you like but the name
+``dev`` is the default value used by kappa so it's kind of handy to avoid
+typing.
+
+Once you have made the necessary modifications, you should be ready to deploy
+your Lambda function to the AWS Lambda service.  To do so, just do this:
+
+```
+$ kappa deploy
+```
+
+This assumes you want to deploy the default environment called ``dev`` and that
+you have named your config file ``kappa.yml``.  If, instead, you called your
+environment ``test`` and named your config file foo.yml, you would do this:
+
+```
+$ kappa --env test --config foo.yml deploy
+```
+
+In either case, you should see output that looks something like this:
+
+```
+$ kappa deploy
+deploying
+...deploying policy kappa-simple-dev
+...creating function kappa-simple-dev
+done
+$
+```
+
+So, what kappa has done is it has created a new Managed Policy called
+``kappa-simple-dev`` that grants access to the CloudWatch Logs service.  It has
+also created an IAM role called ``kappa-simple-dev`` that uses that policy.
+And finally it has zipped up our Python code and created a function in AWS
+Lambda called kappa-simple-dev.
+
+To test this out, try this:
+
+```
+$ kappa invoke _tests/test_one.json 
+invoking

+
+We have just called our Lambda function, passing in the contents of the file
+``_tests/test_one.json`` as input to our function.  We can see the output of
+the CloudWatch logs for the call and we can see the logging call in the Python
+function that prints out the ``event`` (the data) passed to the function.  And
+finally, we can see the Response from the function which, for now, is just a
+hard-coded data structure returned by the function.
+
+That gives you a quick overview of kappa.  To learn more about it, I recommend
+you check out the tutorial.
