Can you give an example of some content that currently is in the compute
admin guide that you think shouldn't be there because of the overlap with
the installation manuals?

I'm not opposed to a refactor on principle, but I also worry about users
needing to jump around across many different manuals, because the current
task they are trying to perform cuts across multiple doc guides. I think
some content overlap might be unavoidable. If you could provide some
specific examples about content that you recommend be removed from the
admin guide, it would help me understand this better.

Take care,
