+ # Container Mom
+ 
+ > Containers like mom used to make
+ 
+ Container Mom is a Kubernetes operator that makes deploying and managing applications as easy as sharing your Git repository. It handles everything from source-to-image builds to certificate management, just like mom always took care of everything for you.
+ 
+ ## Features
+ 
+ - **One-Click Deployments**: Share your Git repo, and mom handles the rest
+ - **Multi-Cluster Support**: Deploy across multiple clusters
+ - **Automatic TLS**: Built-in certificate management with Let's Encrypt
+ - **Custom Domains**: Use your domain or get a free *.container.mom subdomain
+ - **Resource Management**: Smart resource allocation and quota enforcement
+ - **Built-in Monitoring**: Health checks and automatic recovery
+ - **Billing Integration**: Usage-based billing with different service tiers
+ - **Web Portal**: Modern dashboard for managing deployments and billing
