+A Helm chart for a layered OTLP tail sampling and metrics generation pipeline.
+
+This chart deploys the following architecture to your environment:
+![Photo of sampling architecture](./sampling-architecture.png)
+
+Note: by default, only OTLP traces are accepted at the load balancing layer.
+
+## Chart Repo
+
+Add the following repo to use the chart:
+
+```console
+helm repo add grafana https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts
+```
+## Installing the Chart
+
+Use the following command to install the chart with the release name `my-release`. Make sure to populate the required values.
+
+```console
+helm install my-release grafana/grafana-sampling --values - <<EOF | less
+grafana-agent-statefulset:

+      - name: GRAFANA_CLOUD_TEMPO_ENDPOINT
+        value: <REQUIRED>
+      - name: GRAFANA_CLOUD_TEMPO_USERNAME
+        value: <REQUIRED>

+          fieldRef:
+            apiVersion: v1
+            fieldPath: metadata.uid
+EOF
+```
+
+## Uninstalling the Chart
+
+To uninstall/delete the my-release deployment:
+
+```console
+helm delete my-release
+```
+
+The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.
+
+## Upgrading
+
+A major chart version change indicates that there is an incompatible breaking change needing manual actions.
