 This guide will explain how to use Teleport's Kubernetes Operator to deploy
 trusted clusters.
 
+## How it works
+
+The Teleport Kubernetes Operator provides a way for Kubernetes users to manage Teleport trusted clusters through
+Kubernetes, following [the Operator Pattern](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/operator/).
+
+The trusted cluster custom resource definitions are deployed alongside the Teleport
+Kubernetes Operator. Once deployed, users can use a Kubernetes client like `kubectl`
+or their existing CI/CD Kubernetes pipelines to create and manage Teleport trusted
+clusters. The Teleport Kubernetes Operator watches for these trusted cluster resources
+and makes API calls to Teleport to reach the desired state.
