## Overview
8+
9+
This guide is meant to give you an overview of all the materials needed to get started with Plural’s Fleet Management solution.
10+
This should be considered a living document; feel free to let us know about any gaps in our documentation and we’ll make it a top priority to plug them to ensure as smooth an experience as possible for future customers.
11+
12+
The general process of setting up your instance is pretty straightforward, and we have documentation and supporting materials below to guide each step:
13+
14+
- set up your management cluster which will host the plural console and supporting operators
15+
- connect your kubernetes clusters you’d like to manage to that management cluster
16+
- define services, pipelines, and global services to start shipping workloads into your cluster fleet
17+
18+
## Intro Video
19+
20+
We think the easiest way to understand the workflow is to take a look at our intro video (It is about 14 minutes long):

23+
24+
This will give you a brief tour of using the `plural up` command to set up your management cluster, which you can use directly or can use as a starting point to rework the exact setup needed for your enterprise given security constraints and other considerations for your environment.
25+
26+
## Getting Started Docs
27+
28+
We also have thorough documentation to explain how to get your cluster up and running. We recommend using the following:
29+
30+
- [CLI Quickstart](https://docs.plural.sh/deployments/cli-quickstart) - details of how to install the Plural Console either on an existing cluster using helm or also guides you through the `plural up` process.
31+
- [Import An Existing Cluster](https://docs.plural.sh/deployments/import-cluster) - some of the main ways to import a cluster you’ve created into Plural’s fleet manager. The main method is to simply use our CLI or to use our terraform provider.
32+
- [Terraform Docs](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/pluralsh/plural/latest/docs) - docs for our terraform provider.
33+
- [Cluster Management](https://docs.plural.sh/deployments/using-operator) - the entire section devoted to documenting all the relevant CRDs within the Plural operator. This is installed alongside the Console in your management cluster and allows for a fully GitOps management experience of the products core components.
34+
35+
## Example Repos
36+
37+
We’ve also created a few example repos to show various use cases within Plural:
38+
39+
- `plural up` [demo](https://github.com/pluralsh/plural-up-demo) - this is a full repo generated by plural up which you can use as a guide if you chose the raw helm install path and still would like to have a more scaffolded experience.
40+
- [Plural CD Demo](https://github.com/pluralsh/plrl-cd-demo) - this is a trivial python FastApi service with attendent kubernetes manifests and a github action that can show a simple pattern of how to integrate Plural with an existing microservice CI process.
