Pull request overview
Updates the Calico Cloud Free Tier quickstart to deploy a richer, multi-namespace microservices demo (Google’s Online Boutique) so Service Graph shows realistic cross-namespace traffic, and adds the corresponding Kubernetes manifest to the docs static files.
Changes:
- Add a namespaced Online Boutique manifest under
static/files/for quickstart users to apply. - Rewrite Free Tier quickstart (current + versioned 22-2) to deploy the demo app and guide users to Service Graph.
- Update “connect a cluster” docs (current + versioned 22-2) to link to the new quickstart step/anchor.

Replace the NGINX+BusyBox interactive demo with Google's Online Boutique (12 microservices, each in its own namespace) for a much richer Service Graph experience. Remove the inline policy walkthrough steps to get users to the Service Graph payoff faster. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
