Public Landing Page Enhancement

[n-boshnakov]

What would you like to be added: After a discussion with Vedran Lerenc and Jessica Katz, the following observations and ideas for improvements to the Landing Page were collected:

• [ ] Taken from the internal landing page: @Kostov6

  • [x] Add Highlight section
  • [ ] Add Quickstart section(on hold)

• [ ] Starting Title -> a bit too difficult to understand? @n-boshnakov

  • Possible improvements:
    • "Deliver fully-managed clusters at scale everywhere with your own Kubernetes-as-a-Service/with your own Gardener installation"
    • "Run fully-managed clusters at scale on AWS, GCP, Azure, and AliCloud with Gardener"

• [ ] Cloud Native at Heart @n-boshnakov

  • [ ] too complicated, might require rewording

• [x] Open Community

  • good as is

• [ ] Solving Authentic Problems @n-boshnakov

  • [ ] too complicated, might require rewording

• [ ] add 5 more high level terms to (Everywhere, Homogeneous, Fully Managed, Customizable, Scalable)

  • [x] choose concrete terms. Ex: Secure, Credentials Rotation, DISA STIGs Kubernetes Compliance, Business Certified, Low TCO @n-boshnakov
  • [ ] add grid layout @Kostov6

• [ ] Make It All About Kubernetes Again -> Change to: Kubeception @n-boshnakov

• [ ] "Gardener abstracts environment specifics to deliver the same homogeneous Kubernetes-native DevOps experience everywhere" @n-boshnakov

  • [ ] Possibly change to: "You can use kubeclt and any other tools that is able to orchestestrate Kubernetes; uses only Kubernetes API, Kubernetes-native ops tools"

• [ ] Cluster Fleet Hub @n-boshnakov

  • [ ] too complicated, might require rewording

• [x] Kubernetes Native

  • good

• [x] Fully Managed

  • good

• [ ] Get The Kubernetes You Really Want -> same as Customizable @n-boshnakov

  • [ ] Cloud provider negatives -> much fewer options for tweaking the control plane

    The sections listed above are a partial match with the top high level terms. A drastic restructure would be required

• [ ] Restructure @n-boshnakov

• [ ] Configurable @n-boshnakov Gardener control planes allow you to control a wide range of features gates and configurations.

  • [ ] good, but content could be added to it -> options in shoot.yaml example

• [ ] 100% Kubernetes compliant @n-boshnakov

  • [ ] could add the security compliance certifications

• [ ] The one you already know @n-boshnakov

  • similar to the section above

• [x] Everywhere You Want It

  • [x] Add "Iron Core" and end the list with it @Kostov6
  • [x] Change the order
  • [x] add "SAP Data Center" with logo @Kostov6
  • [x] Move the section below the "However You Want It" @Kostov6

• [ ] The Landing Page should tell a story -> a continuous flow, instead of just facts and repeating what has been said earlier @n-boshnakov

• [ ] Could add a section on the ORA website (when released) @n-boshnakov

• [x] Could add Thomas' short (25s) Gardener Introduction video @n-boshnakov

Main Takeaways:

The sections feel disorganized and are complex to understand. A drastic restructure of the entire page is required The Landing Page should be entirely overhauled and turned into a user story that flows together Content could be reused from the internal Landing Page, as the flow there is better

Why is this needed: The landing page needs an update, as some of the content presented there is outdated and could prove too complex for the users.
