+# Starting With Semantic Kernel Vector Stores
+
+This project contains a step by step guide to get started using Vector Stores with the Semantic Kernel.
+
+The examples can be run as integration tests but their code can also be copied to stand-alone programs.
+
+## Configuring Secrets
+
+Most of the examples will require secrets and credentials, to access OpenAI, Azure OpenAI,
+Vector Stores and other resources. We suggest using .NET
+[Secret Manager](https://learn.microsoft.com/aspnet/core/security/app-secrets)
+to avoid the risk of leaking secrets into the repository, branches and pull requests.
+You can also use environment variables if you prefer.
+
+To set your secrets with Secret Manager:
+
+```
+cd dotnet/samples/GettingStartedWithVectorStores
+
+dotnet user-secrets init
+
+dotnet user-secrets set "AzureOpenAIEmbeddings:DeploymentName" "..."
+dotnet user-secrets set "AzureOpenAIEmbeddings:Endpoint" "..."
+
+dotnet user-secrets set "AzureAISearch:Endpoint" "..."
+dotnet user-secrets set "AzureAISearch:ApiKey" "..."
+```
+
+To set your secrets with environment variables, use these names:
+
+```
+AzureOpenAIEmbeddings__DeploymentName
+AzureOpenAIEmbeddings__Endpoint
+
+AzureAISearch__Endpoint
+AzureAISearch__ApiKey
+```
