+## Architecture
+
+Kardinal main components are the Kardinal CLI and the Kardinal Manager.  The Kardinal CLI allows the user to manage the development flows.  The Kardinal Manager retrieves the latest configuration from the Kardinal Cloud and applies changes to the K8S user services topology.
+
+![kardinal-dev-overview](https://github.com/kurtosis-tech/kardinal/blob/laurent/dev-flow/img/kardinal-dev-overview.png?raw=true)
+
+The Kardinal Cloud code is not open-source.
+
+### Kardinal CLI
+
+The Kardinal CLI is a standalone tool interacting with the Kardinal Cloud to manage the dev flows.
+
+### Kardinal Manager
+
+The Kardinal Manager retrieves the latest user services topology from the Kardinal Cloud and applies the changes by interacting with the Istio client and K8S client. The Manager manages traffic using Istio objects such as virtual services and destination rules. The Manager also updates the K8S services and deployments.
