+K8s Container Memif
+-------------------
+
+|csit-release| includes tests of VPP topologies running in K8s
+orchestrated Pods/Containers and connected over memif virtual
+interfaces. In order to provide simple topology coding flexibility and
+extensibility container orchestration is done with `Kubernetes
+<https://github.com/kubernetes>`_ using `Docker
+<https://github.com/docker>`_ images for all container applications
+including VPP. `Ligato <https://github.com/ligato>`_ is used for the
+Pod/Container networking orchestration that is integrated with K8s,
+including memif support.
+
+In these tests VPP vswitch runs in a K8s Pod with Docker Container (DRC)
+handling NIC interfaces and connecting over memif to more instances of
+VPP running in Pods/DRCs. All DRCs run in a priviliged mode with VPP
+data plane worker threads pinned to dedicated physical CPU cores per
+usual CSIT practice. All VPP instances run the same version of software.
+This test topology is equivalent to existing tests with vhost-user and
+VMs as described earlier in :ref:`tested_physical_topologies`.
+
+Further documentation is available in
+:ref:`container_orchestration_in_csit`.
