  4. sidecar-container/ - For the Sidecar Container approach
  5. helper-scripts/ - For the Helper Scripts documentation

  6. Created Comprehensive Index Files

  7. Created index.md files for each approach subdirectory
  8. Implemented a consistent structure with:

    • Introduction section
    • Key features
    • Links to detailed documentation
    • Related resources
  9. Created Inventory Files

  10. Added inventory.md files for each approach subdirectory
  11. Listed all available files with descriptions
  12. Added cross-references to related directories

  13. Extracted Focused Content Files

  14. Created implementation.md for technical details
  15. Created rbac.md for RBAC configuration
  16. Created limitations.md for approach limitations
  17. Created distroless-basics.md for foundational understanding
  18. Created scripts-vs-commands.md for implementation comparison

  19. Updated Main Index and Inventory Files

  20. Updated approaches/index.md to serve as a redirect/overview
  21. Updated approaches/inventory.md to reflect the new structure
  22. Maintained comparison.md and decision-matrix.md at the top level

  23. Updated the Navigation Structure

  24. Created a new navigation structure in mkdocs.yml
  25. Organized navigation by approach with focused subtopics
  26. Maintained top-level comparison and decision-making tools

  27. Updated Progress Tracking

  28. Updated SESSION-RECOVERY.md to reflect our progress
  29. Updated content-organization-approach.md to mark Approaches as completed

Next Steps

  1. Apply Similar Pattern to Security Section
  2. Create subdirectories for different security aspects
  3. Break down the security files into focused topics
  4. Update navigation and cross-references

  5. Complete Other High-Priority Sections

  6. Helm Charts - Organize by chart type and functionality
  7. Configuration - Separate by configuration target
  8. Architecture - Split by architectural component

  9. Finish Creating Content Files for Approaches

  10. Add security.md files for each approach
  11. Add future-work.md files for each approach
  12. Add integration.md files for each approach

  13. Validate Documentation Flow

  14. Ensure logical flow between approaches
  15. Verify all cross-references are working correctly
  16. Update comparison files to reference new structure

  17. Update mkdocs.yml with Final Navigation

  18. Replace current navigation with our proposed structure
  19. Ensure proper nesting and organization
  20. Test the documentation site with new navigation

Implementation Status

The Approaches section reorganization is now well-structured with:

  • Clear organization by approach type
  • Consistent structure across all approach documentation
  • Focused topic files for specific aspects
  • Improved navigability and readability
  • Better maintainability for future updates

This implementation serves as a model for how other complex sections should be organized going forward.
