+## Cloud Spanner Addon
+
+[Cloud Spanner](https://cloud.google.com/spanner) is a fully managed relational database. The Cloud Spanner addon provides a local emulator to test your local application without incurring the cost of an actual spanner instance. 
+
+### Enable Cloud Spanner on minikube
+
+To enable this addon, simply run:
+```shell script
+minikube addons enable cloud-spanner
+```
+
+### Cloud Spanner Endpoints
+Cloud Spanner provides two different ports, HTTP and GRPC. List Cloud Spanner emulator urls by running:
+``` shell
+minikube service cloud-spanner-emulator
+

+grpc/9010 http://192.168.49.2:30233
+http://192.168.49.2:30556]
+```
+
+### Using Cloud Spanner within a cluster
+Cloud Spanner emulator can be used via endpoint `cloud-spanner-emulator:9020` for http clients and `cloud-spanner-emulator:9010` for grpc clients respectively. If you're using the standard client library for Cloud Spanner then set `SPANNER_EMULATOR_HOST` to the GRPC endpoint `cloud-spanner-emulator:9010`.
+
+### Testing installation
+
+```shell script
+kubectl get pods -n cloud-spanner-emulator
+```
+
+If everything went well, there should be no errors about Cloud Spanner's installation in your minikube cluster.
+
+### Disable Cloud Spanner
+
+To disable this addon, simply run:
+
+```shell script
+minikube addons disable cloud-spanner
+```
