Description

This PR aims to align the Multipass documentation index page with the recommended home page patterns.

It introduces thematic slices/categories for the "In this documentation" section and moves the Diataxis cards to the "How this documentation is organized" section.

The pattern divides pages according to thematic slices (Basics, Using multipass, Understanding Multipass, etc). The slices are domains of concern, as outlined in proposed home page patterns guidance document. The domains of concern are:

  1. Stack layer
  2. Quality
  3. Feature (always wholly product-dependent)
  4. Resources & interfaces
  5. Lifecycle
  6. Customer/industry use-case (always wholly product-dependent)

For Multipass documentation:

  1. The. "Understanding Multipass" thematic slice (which includes virtualization concepts, configuration and core concepts) are examples of stack layer domain
  2. The "Using Multipass" section (which includes instance management, customization, troubleshooting etc) are examples of the lifecycle domain (“using”)
  3. The "Resources and networking" section is an example of the "Resources and interfaces" domain
  4. The "Security and performance" section is an example of the quality domain

Testing

  1. I checked that all the links are correct (and use the MyST ref standards)

Hey @geoffreynyaga, I am giving it a third attempt, but it looks like we may need to add a few exceptions to the link checker...

# Description

This PR aims to align the Multipass documentation index page with the
recommended home page patterns.

It introduces thematic slices/categories for the "In this documentation"
section and moves the [Diataxis](https://diataxis.fr/) cards to the "How
this documentation is organized" section.

The pattern divides pages according to thematic slices (Basics, Using
multipass, Understanding Multipass, etc). The slices are domains of
concern, as outlined in proposed home page patterns guidance document.
The domains of concern are:
1. Stack layer
2. Quality
3. Feature (always wholly product-dependent)
4. Resources & interfaces
5. Lifecycle
6. Customer/industry use-case (always wholly product-dependent)

For Multipass documentation:
1. The. "Understanding Multipass" thematic slice (which includes
virtualization concepts, configuration and core concepts) are examples
of `stack layer domain`
2. The "Using Multipass" section (which includes instance management,
customization, troubleshooting etc) are examples of the `lifecycle
domain (“using”)`
3. The "Resources and networking" section is an example of the
`"Resources and interfaces" domain`
4. The "Security and performance" section is an example of the `quality
domain`
