+Starting OVN Central services in containers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For OVN central node, we dont need to load ovs kernel modules on host.
+Hence, OVN central containers OS need not depend on host OS.
+
+Also we can leverage deploying entire OVN control plane in a pod spec for use
+cases like OVN-kubernetes
+
+Export following variables in .env  and place it under
+project root::
+
+    $ OVN_BRANCH=<BRANCH>
+    $ OVN_VERSION=<VERSION>
+    $ DISTRO=<LINUX_DISTRO>
+    $ KERNEL_VERSION=<LINUX_KERNEL_VERSION>
+    $ GITHUB_SRC=<GITHUB_URL>
+    $ DOCKER_REPO=<REPO_TO_PUSH_IMAGE>
+
+To build ovn modules::
+
+    $ cd utilities/docker
+    $ make build
+
+Compiled Modules will be tagged with docker image
+
+To Push ovn modules::
+
+    $ make push
+
+OVN docker image will be pushed to specified docker repo.
+
+Start OVN containers using below command::
+
+    $ docker run -itd --net=host --name=ovn-nb \
+      <docker_repo>:<tag> ovn-nb-tcp
+
+    $ docker run -itd --net=host --name=ovn-sb \
+      <docker_repo>:<tag> ovn-sb-tcp
+
+    $ docker run -itd --net=host --name=ovn-northd \
+      <docker_repo>:<tag> ovn-northd-tcp
+
+.. note::
+    Current ovn central components comes up in docker image in a standalone
+    mode with protocol tcp.
+
+    The debian docker file use ubuntu 16.04 as a base image for reference.
+
+    User can use any other base image for debian, e.g. u14.04, etc.
+
+    RHEL based docker build support needs to be added.
