+The following describes a demo that brings up a `SimpleExampleServiceInstance`. The purpose of this ServiceInstance is to host a single web inside of a Kubernetes container. Creating the `SimpleExampleServiceInstance` will cause a model policy to be invoked, which will create the necessary Kubernetes resources to launch the web server and configure it to host the desired page.
+
+1. Set your username and password
+
+    USERNAME=admin@opencord.org
+    PASSWORD=letmein
+
+2. Run the TOSCA recipe
+
+    TOSCA_URL=$(minikube service xos-tosca --url)
+    curl -H "xos-username: $ACCOUNT" -H "xos-password: $PASSWORD" -X POST --data-binary @$RECIPE $TOSCA_URL/run    
+
+3. Wait a few seconds for the Kubernetes instances to be created.
+
+4. View the status
+
+    CHAMELEON_URL=$(minikube service xos-chameleon --url)
+    python ./show-instances.py $CHAMELEON_URL $USERNAME $PASSWORD
+
+5. View the web page
+Enter one of the other Kubernetes containers, any container such as one of the synchronizer containers will do, and perform a curl on the IP address obtained in step 4.
