This PR addresses the issue of providing more details about what exists within the repository by completely rewriting the README.md to be a comprehensive guide for users.

What Changed

The README.md has been transformed from a basic overview to a detailed guide that helps users understand and navigate the repository's extensive collection of NGWAF integrations and deployments.

Key Improvements

📋 Comprehensive Repository Structure

  • Added detailed descriptions for all major directories and components
  • Organized content into logical categories: Quick Start, Compute Integration, Enterprise & Advanced, Container/K8s, and Documentation
  • Each component now includes purpose, capabilities, and quick start instructions

🗺️ Enhanced Navigation & User Experience

  • Added emoji-based section headers for easy visual scanning
  • Created an integration types comparison table with complexity levels and "best for" recommendations
  • Included a dedicated Quick Start Guide with different paths for different user types

🏗️ Architecture & Visual Documentation

  • Added a comprehensive architecture overview with Mermaid diagram showing integration patterns
  • Visual representation of how different deployment types connect (Edge, Compute, On-premises/K8s)
  • Clear flow from client requests through various NGWAF integration points

📋 Prerequisites & Setup Guidance

  • Reorganized prerequisites by integration type (Kubernetes, Container, Compute)
  • Added specific tooling requirements for each deployment scenario
  • Fixed broken documentation links and added proper references

🔧 Detailed Component Coverage

  • gold-standard-starter/: Terraform-based comprehensive setup with security best practices
  • ngwaf-terraform-edge-deploy/: Simple VCL service deployment
  • ngwaf-compute-integration/: Compute integration with decision engine
  • protect-cached-content/: Advanced cached content inspection
  • on-prem-ngwaf-integrations/: Complete suite of containerized and K8s deployments

Impact

Users can now:

  • Quickly understand what integrations are available in the repository
  • Choose the right integration for their specific use case and complexity requirements
  • Get started immediately with clear quick start commands
  • Understand the architecture and flow of different deployment patterns
  • Navigate directly to relevant components without confusion

The README now serves as both an index and a guide, making the repository much more accessible to new users while providing comprehensive reference information for experienced users.
