-# Orchestrating Constellation clusters
+# Cluster lifecycle
 
-You can use the CLI to create a cluster on the supported cloud platforms.
-The CLI provisions the resources in your cloud environment and initiates the initialization of your cluster.
-It uses a set of parameters and an optional configuration file to manage your cluster installation.
-The CLI is also used for updating your cluster.
+The lifecycle of a Constellation cluster consist of three phases: *creation*, *upgrade*, and *termination*.
 
-## Workspaces
+## Cluster creation
 
-Each Constellation cluster has an associated *workspace*.
-The workspace is where data such as the Constellation state, config, and ID files are stored.
-Each workspace is associated with a single cluster and configuration.
-The CLI stores state in the local filesystem making the current directory the active workspace.
-Multiple clusters require multiple workspaces, hence, multiple directories.
-Note that every operation on a cluster always has to be performed from the directory associated with its workspace.
+The [`constellation create`](../workflows/create.md) command creates a cluster. The process is as follows:

-To allow for fine-grained configuration of your cluster and cloud environment, Constellation supports an extensive configuration file with strong defaults. [Generating the configuration file](../workflows/create.md#configuration) is typically the first thing you do in the workspace.
 
-Altogether, the following files are generated during the creation of a Constellation cluster and stored in the current workspace:
-
-* a configuration file
-* an ID file
-* a Base64-encoded master secret
-* Terraform artifacts such as `terraform.tfstate`
-* a Kubernetes `kubeconfig` file.
-
-Constellation uses Terraform for infrastructure management. No setup of Terraform is needed. The CLI automatically fetches a copy of Terraform when required.
-
-After the creation of your cluster, the CLI will provide you with a Kubernetes `kubeconfig` file.
-This file grants you access to your Kubernetes cluster and configures the [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/organize-cluster-access-kubeconfig/) tool.
-In addition, the cluster's [identifier](orchestration.md#post-installation-configuration) is returned and stored in a file called `constellation-id.json`

 2. Each CVM boots the Constellation node image and measures every component in the boot chain

 Post installation, the CLI provides a configuration for [accessing the cluster using the Kubernetes API](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/access-cluster-api/).
