What's inside

7 sections: role-based docs, topic index, phase list, troubleshooting links, checklists, file tree, and command reference

Change this for your project

  • Replace neerajk555/capstone-for-devops-101 with your own repository name
  • Replace devops-simple-capstone in the file tree with your project's root directory name
  • Replace task-manager in Helm paths with your own chart name
  • Replace image:tag in Docker commands with your actual image name and tag

Where it goes

Keep it in your repository where the agent or team that needs it will read it.

Worth borrowing

  • Organizing docs by audience (students vs instructors) and by technology phase
  • Embedding a progress checklist and success indicators to guide learners
  • Including a complete file tree so users can verify their repository structure
