 # OpsLevel Terraform Modules
+
+Customizable blueprint for creating and managing an [OpsLevel](https://opslevel.com) account and its resources using Terraform.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Open a terminal and run the following:
+
+```bash
+brew install go-task
+```
+
+Once `task` is installed run `task --list` to see the available tasks.
+
+### Layout
+
+The `./modules` directory contains Terraform config files that make up the blueprint used to populate the OpsLevel account with data.
+
+The `./workspace` directory contains the `main.tf` file that actually uses the contents in `./modules`. This is where inputs should
+be defined to uniquely customize each account.
+
+
+## Updating An OpsLevel Account
+
+For a preview of planned changes,run `task plan`. No changes will be made with this command.
+
+To apply changes, run `task apply`. This will refresh Terraform's state then prompt you for approval to apply changes.
