 # Developer workflow
 
-## Download source code
-<pre>
-git clone https://github.com/nutanix-cloud-native/cluster-api-provider-nutanix.git
-cd cluster-api-provider-nutanix
-</pre>
-
-## Build source code
-<pre>
-make docker-build
-</pre>
-
-## Create test management cluster
-<pre>
-make kind-create
-</pre>
+This document outlines how to
+
+## Build the source code
+
+1. Download source code:
+
+    ```shell
+    git clone https://github.com/nutanix-cloud-native/cluster-api-provider-nutanix.git
+    cd cluster-api-provider-nutanix
+    ```
+
+1. Build a container image with the source code:
+
+    ```shell
+    make docker-build
+    ```
+
+## Create a local management cluster
+
+1. Create a [KIND](https://kind.sigs.k8s.io/) cluster:
+
+   ```shell
+    make kind-create
+    ```
+
+This will configure [kubectl](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/) for the local cluster.
+
+## Build a CAPI image
+
+1. Follow the instructions [here](https://image-builder.sigs.k8s.io/capi/providers/nutanix.html#building-capi-images-for-nutanix-cloud-platform-ncp) to build a CAPI image.
+   The image name printed at the end of the build will be needed to create a Kubernetes cluster.
 
 ## Prepare local clusterctl
-<pre>
-cp -n clusterctl.yaml.tmpl clusterctl.yaml
-</pre>
-**Note**: Update `./clusterctl.yaml` with appropriate configuration
-
-<pre>
-make prepare-local-clusterctl
-</pre>
-
-## Deploy cluster-api-provider-nutanix CRDs on test management cluster
-<pre>
-make deploy
-</pre>
-
-## Deploy test workload cluster
-<pre>
-make test-clusterctl-create
-</pre>
-**Note**: Optionally, use a unique cluster name
-<pre>
-make test-clusterctl-create TEST_CLUSTER_NAME=<>
-</pre>
-
-## Get test workload cluster kubeconfig
-<pre>
-make test-kubectl-workload 
-</pre>
-**Note**: Optionally, use the same unique cluster name
-<pre>
-make test-kubectl-workload TEST_CLUSTER_NAME=<>
-</pre>
-
-## Delete test workload cluster
-<pre>
-make test-clusterctl-delete
-</pre>
-**Note**: Optionally, use the same unique cluster name
-<pre>
-make test-clusterctl-delete TEST_CLUSTER_NAME=<>
-</pre>
\ No newline at end of file
+
+1. Make a copy of the [clusterctl](https://cluster-api.sigs.k8s.io/clusterctl/overview) configuration file:
+
+    ```shell
+    cp -n clusterctl.yaml.tmpl clusterctl.yaml
+    ```
+
+1. Update `./clusterctl.yaml` with appropriate configuration.
+
+1. Setup `clusterctl` with the configuration:
+
+    ```shell
+    make prepare-local-clusterctl
+    ```
+
+## Deploy cluster-api-provider-nutanix provider and CRDs on local management cluster
+
+1. Deploy the provider, along with CAPI core controllers and CRDs:
+
+    ```shell
+    make deploy
+    ```
+
+1. Verify the provider Pod is `READY`:
+
+    ```shell
+    kubectl get pods -n capx-system
+    ```
+
+## Create a test workload cluster
+
+1. Create a workload cluster:
+
+    ```shell
+    make test-clusterctl-create
+    ```
+
+   Optionally, to use a unique cluster name:
+
+    ```shell
+    make test-clusterctl-create TEST_CLUSTER_NAME=<>
+    ```
+
+1. Get the workload cluster kubeconfig. This will write out the kubeconfig file in the local directory as `<cluster-name>.workload.kubeconfig`:
+
+    ```shell
+    make test-kubectl-workload 
+    ```
+
+   When using a unique cluster name set `TEST_CLUSTER_NAME` variable:
+
+    ```shell
+    make test-kubectl-workload TEST_CLUSTER_NAME=<>
+    ```
+
+## Debugging failures
+
+1. Check the cluster resources:
+
+    ```shell
+    kubectl get cluster-api --namespace capx-test-ns
+    ```
+
+1. Check the provider logs:
+
+    ```shell
+    kubectl logs -n capx-system -l cluster.x-k8s.io/provider=infrastructure-nutanix
+    ```
+
+1. Check status of individual Nodes by using the address from the corresponding `NutanixMachine`:
+
+    ```shell
+    ssh capiuser@<address>
+    ```
+
+    * Check cloud-init bootstrap logs:
+
+        ```shell
+        tail /var/log/cloud-init-output.log
+        ```
+
+    * Check journalctl logs for Kubelet and Containerd
+    * Check Containerd containers:
+
+        ```shell
+        crictl ps -a
+        ```
+
+## Cleanup
+
+1. Delete the test workload cluster:
+
+    ```shell
+    make test-clusterctl-delete
+    ```
+
+   When using a unique cluster name set `TEST_CLUSTER_NAME` variable:
+
+    ```shell
+    make test-clusterctl-delete TEST_CLUSTER_NAME=<>
+
+1. Delete the management KIND cluster:
+
+    ```shell
+    make kind-delete
+    ```
