+# Cloud Foundation Toolkit - Fabric
+
+The Cloud Foundation Fabric provides end-to-end Terraform code examples for prototyping on GCP.
+Code from this repository can be used as the basis for rapid prototyping of networking and organizational design,
+and to lay the automated foundations for adopting additional CFT modules.
+
+The Fabric repository is designed to be adapted and updated for your use cases.
+For full-featured support out of the box, alternative Cloud Foundation Toolkit modules should be considered or integrated.
