+gRPC Hostname Example
+=====================
+
+The hostname example is a Hello World server whose response includes its
+hostname. It also supports health and reflection services. This makes it a good
+server to test infrastructure, like load balancing.
+
+The example requires grpc to already be built. You are strongly encouraged
+to check out a git release tag, since there will already be a build of gRPC
+available.
+
+### Run the example
+
+1. Navigate to this directory:
+
+```sh
+cd grpc/examples/python/xds
+```
+
+2. Run the server
+
+```sh
+python server.py
+```
+
+3. Verify the Server
+
+This step is not strictly necessary, but you can use it as a sanity check if
+you'd like. If you don't have it, install
+[`grpcurl`](https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl/releases). This will allow
+you to manually test the service.
+
+Exercise your server's application-layer service:
+
+```sh
+> grpcurl --plaintext -d '{"name": "you"}' localhost:50051
+{
+  "message": "Hello you from rbell.svl.corp.google.com!"
+}
+```
+
+Make sure that all of your server's services are available via reflection:
+
+```sh
+> grpcurl --plaintext localhost:50051 list
+grpc.health.v1.Health
+grpc.reflection.v1alpha.ServerReflection
+helloworld.Greeter
+```
+
+Make sure that your services are reporting healthy:
+
+```sh
+> grpcurl --plaintext -d '{"service": "helloworld.Greeter"}' localhost:50051
+grpc.health.v1.Health/Check
+{
+  "status": "SERVING"
+}
+
+> grpcurl --plaintext -d '{"service": ""}' localhost:50051
+grpc.health.v1.Health/Check
+{
+  "status": "SERVING"
+}
+```
