Summary

Fixes #1543. Several external links in the Deployment Recommendations page have rotted and no longer resolve:

Link Status
NetApp NFS Best Practice and Implementation Guide (tr-4067.pdf) dead (NetApp retired the /us/media/ path)
MySQL Database on NetApp ONTAP (tr-4722.pdf) dead (same)
NetApp Hybrid Flash Storage Systems product page dead (same)
Bitnami "Performance enhancements for Apache and PHP" blog post dead (blog defunct; resolves to a generic search page)

The reporter listed the two PDFs and the Bitnami post; investigation found the NetApp Hybrid Flash product link (used in Scenario 2 & 3) suffers the same URL-scheme retirement.

Approach

NetApp blocks automated access, so replacement URLs cannot be reliably verified, and any new link is liable to rot again. Per the maintainer's direction, the hyperlinks are removed while the descriptive prose is kept — readers can still search for the named NetApp documents, and there are no fresh links to decay. The Bitnami "General References" bullet (a 2014 post, obsolete for the current Docker-based stack) is removed entirely.

The now-meaningless "section 9.4 … page 111" pointer to the unlinked NetApp guide was also dropped.

Verification

  • Confirmed all four URLs are dead (NetApp 403 even with browser UA; Bitnami soft-404).
  • Confirmed no remaining references to the removed AsciiDoc attributes anywhere in modules/.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The following external links in the deployment recommendations have
rotted and no longer resolve:

- NetApp NFS Best Practice and Implementation Guide (tr-4067.pdf)
- MySQL Database on NetApp ONTAP (tr-4722.pdf)
- NetApp Hybrid Flash Storage Systems product page
- Bitnami "Performance enhancements for Apache and PHP" blog post

NetApp retired the /us/media/ URL scheme and the Bitnami blog is
defunct. The hyperlinks are removed while the descriptive text is
kept, so no replacement link can rot again.

Fixes #1543
