+## Testing Calico/VPP on baremetal
+
+This setup creates a single node setup leveraging DPDK.
+- ⚠️ This is a test script, not to be used for production
+- ⚠️ It will reconfigure the uplink interface, here `enp216s0f1` do not use your management interface or you will most probably loose access to your server.
