Possible Implementation
Related material in the current doc:
Suggested changes:
Expand the listed installation options on the
Get Started page by explaining
what user roles would use each option and why. Also:
- Is there an alternative to Kubernetes for running in production? Explain.
- Give an explicit list of supported OSes.
This issue is closely related to
Write a "Get Started" introduction
in that it involved modifying the Get Started page, but is more specifically
concerned with the installation procedures.
An alternative would be to create a separate introduction page for installations.
