+# OPS Charter
+
+## Mission
+
+To recreate the next generation of cloud infrastructure with the
+following core tenents.
+
+## Tenets (unless you know better ones)
+
+These tenets guide OPS' development. They are guidelines and goals.
+
+1. **Security**:
+
+OPS is a builder/orchestrator for the Nanos unikernel. The underlying
+kernel does not have the notion of users. It only runs one process per
+virtual machine and does it's best to minimize the amount of code
+incorporated into each vm. OPS as an interface to this unikernel should
+reflect these concerns.
+
+2. **Minimalist**: 
+
+KISS - Keep it Simple Stupid. Current cloud infrastructure projects suffer from too much complexity which leads to performance, security and agility problems. The unikernel design philosophy is a rejection of this complexity.
+
+3. **Performant**: 
+
+There is much to be gained from incorporating a unikernel
+infrastructure. One of them is performance. While there is much work to
+be done here we should take care to keep this in mind in the surrounding
+ecosystem.
+
+## Contributions & Project Roles
+
+All contributions must align with this charter.
