+## Glossary
+
+Refer to the [Open Application Model](https://oam.dev/).
+
+## Summary
+
+Applications are usually a combine of workload,ingress,service etc. OpenYurt provides some workload controllers, but it's not friendly for application developers.
+
+In this proposal, we would like to introduce an application controller which could delivery applications and consider openyurt cluster's features.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Currently, project `yurt-app-manager` deploys `ingress-controller` instances to every nodepool, project `yurt-edgex-manager` deploys `edgex` instances to every nodepool. So we could find the common ground is delivery resources to nodepool and the feature is useful if we want to develop new moduel as edge gateway.
+
+By the way, `uniteddeployment` has the nodepool featrue, but it could only deploy one deployment or statefulset workload, not include other resrouces.
+
+How to deploy  resource collections, the most common way is use helm chart. `FluxCD` already implement the `HelmRelease` controller, but it's not support nodepool feature.
+
+After investigation, we find out [OAM](https://oam.dev/) and [kubevela](https://kubevela.io/). Kubevela already defines application modules, and could delivery helm charts to multi-clusters. So if kubevela could deploy application to multi-nodepools, it will satisfy our requests.
+
+### Goals
+
+- Openyurt support application deploy
+- Both ingress-controller and edgex could use the controller to deploy
+
+### Non-Goals/Future Work
+
+- Treat application as a whole, application's inner resource not support reconcile
+
+## Proposal
+
+### User Stories
+
+- Package kubernetes resources as a helm chart, and create application crd instance
+
+### Implementation Details
+
+#### OpenYurt Self-Defined Method
+
+Define openyurt's application module and develop the application controller.
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: apps.openyurt.io/v1alpha1
+kind: Application
+metadata:
+  name: helm-hello
+spec:
+spec:
+  interval: 5m
+  chart:
+    spec:
+      chart: chartmuseum
+      version: "2.14.2"
+      url: "https://jhidalgo3.github.io/helm-charts/"
+  values: {}
+  policies:
+    nodepools: ["hangzhou","beijing"]
+```
+
+#### KubeVela Method
+
+As kubevela already implements application deploy, and application policies. We could extend nodepool policy type to implement.
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1beta1
+kind: Application
+metadata:
+  name: helm-hello
+spec:
+  components:
+    - name: hello
+      type: helm
+      properties:
+        repoType: "helm"
+        url: "https://jhidalgo3.github.io/helm-charts/"
+        chart: "hello-kubernetes-chart"
+        version: "3.0.0"
+  policies:
+    - name: foo-cluster-only
+      type: topology
+      properties:
+        clusters: ["foo"]
+```
