The changes can be merged cleanly, and I believe this particular failing check might be optional. If the maintainers @leecalcote @vishalvivekm @GARY121github @fitzergerald confirm that it is not a blocker, please review the PR. Thank you!


<h2>What is Meshery?</h2>

<p>Meshery is an open-source, service mesh management plane that helps platform engineers like you manage the complexity of service meshes and their interactions with the underlying infrastructure. By providing a unified interface for managing multiple service meshes, Meshery enables you to automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and scaling – all from a single dashboard.</p>

Please don't mention the term service mesh anywhere when talking about Meshery.

Okay, I'll gather more information right now and make the necessary changes today itself. Also, I’ll ensure not to mention the term "service mesh" ,as the project now integrates with over 300+ cloud-native technologies.

Feedback offered in meeting:

  • the blog is way too much concise for a platform engineer
  • links to specific pages in docs for example installation pages instead of GitHub repo
  • include, screenshots, gif, meshery designs etc.
  • don't mention service mesh anywhere
  • some minor items like naming the .mdx file should follow the existing blog writing rules.

@Dungeon-Masterji @vishalvivekm I understand this is an AI generated image but we must also have a human verification. The image spells important words incorrectly, like 'MESHS' or uses words that don't have a meaning, unclear.
I personally think we should not use this image, unless we fix it.

This is rather a summary or a TL;DR of what a step-by-step guide would be. We should elaborate.
