Summary

This PR adds description metadata to the frontmatter of all 10 first-level index.md files in the repository to improve SEO and provide clear page summaries.

Changes

Added concise, informative descriptions to the following first-level index pages:

  • cloud-account/index.md - Description about managing Elastic Cloud account settings and preferences
  • deploy-manage/index.md - Description about deploying and managing Elastic environments
  • explore-analyze/index.md - Description about exploring and analyzing data with Kibana
  • extend/index.md - Description about extending the Elastic Platform (also added frontmatter structure)
  • get-started/index.md - Description about Elastic fundamentals and getting started
  • manage-data/index.md - Description about data ingestion and management in Elasticsearch
  • reference/index.md - Description about Elastic Stack reference documentation
  • release-notes/index.md - Description about release notes and changelogs (also added frontmatter structure)
  • solutions/index.md - Description about Elastic solutions for search, observability, and security
  • troubleshoot/index.md - Description about troubleshooting resources and support

Implementation Details

  • All descriptions follow the YAML multi-line format consistent with the root index.md file
  • Descriptions are concise (2-3 sentences) and accurately reflect the content of each page
  • Two files (extend/index.md and release-notes/index.md) previously had no frontmatter and now have proper YAML frontmatter blocks
  • All YAML syntax has been validated

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Add description metadata to first-level index pages</issue_title>
<issue_description>Most Markdown docs in this repository still lack a description: in the frontmatter. We should at least add a description for the first level pages, that is, the index.md pages inside each of the docs folders.
