+# Basics
+
+According to the Kubemarine concept, `cluster.yaml` is a reflection of the Kubernetes cluster state.
+Therefore, any changes on the cluster must be reflected in `cluster.yaml` in the corresponding section to be consistent with the cluster state.
+This is an important practice even if the `cluster.yaml` section or option is applicable only for the installation procedure because the particular `cluster.yaml` can be used for the reinstallation or reproduction of some cases.
+For the changes that cannot be reflected in `cluster.yaml`, the appropriate comments can be used.
+
+The maintenance of the cluster can be done in two scenarios:
+
+- It can be performed using some Kubemarine procedure. In this case, Kubemarine does its best to keep `cluster.yaml` and the cluster consistent to each other.
+- The cluster can be reconfigured manually. In this case, the user should also manually reflect the changes in the `cluster.yaml`.
