Removes the compliance reporting feature documentation from Calico Enterprise next and version-3.24-1. The feature has been removed from the web console and has no shipped replacement; the kubescape-based successor (PMREQ-631, PMREQ-666) stalled and its docs epic DOCS-2278 was closed as Won't do.

Calico Enterprise next and 3.24-1:

  • Deleted the compliance guide pages, the compliance-reports reference pages, and the GlobalReport resource page.
  • Reworded the compliance index into a Security landing and relabeled the sidebar category to Security. The WireGuard, HTTP proxy, and Istio Ambient pages that live under compliance are kept in place at their current URLs.
  • Removed compliance cross-links, the feature-matrix and RBAC rows, reference cards, the get-started Compliance Reports section, and the compliance troubleshooting section.
  • Removed install-time compliance references from the Helm reference and tigerastatus, and excluded Compliance types from the generated operator API reference so regeneration keeps them out.
  • Added a plain removal entry to the release notes, with no successor named.

All products and versions:

  • Removed the sentence about a coming replacement from every surviving compliance deprecation notice: Calico Enterprise 3.20-2 through 3.23-2, and Calico Cloud next, 22-2, and 23-2. Calico Cloud compliance pages are kept; only the notices change.

Not changed: releases.json still lists the compliance-benchmarker component, which still ships. A few generated API fields and a LogStorage retention field for components that remain are left in place for accuracy.

Jira: https://tigera.atlassian.net/browse/DOCS-2992

For reviewers, representative changed pages are the Calico Enterprise 3.24 release notes, the reference resources index, and the relabeled Security section. I will add the deploy preview link once it builds.

Remove the compliance reporting feature documentation from Calico Enterprise
next and version-3.24-1, since the feature has been removed from the web
console and has no shipped replacement.

- Delete the compliance guide pages, the compliance-reports reference pages,
  and the GlobalReport resource page.
- Reword the compliance index into a Security landing and relabel the sidebar
  category to Security; keep the WireGuard, HTTP proxy, and Istio Ambient pages
  in place at their current paths.
- Remove compliance cross-links, the feature-matrix and RBAC rows, reference
  cards, the get-started Compliance Reports section, and the compliance
  troubleshooting section.
- Remove install-time compliance references from the Helm reference and
  tigerastatus, and exclude Compliance types from the generated operator API
  reference (ignoreTypes) so regeneration keeps them out.
- Add a plain removal entry to the release notes with no successor named.

Across all products and versions, remove the sentence about a coming
replacement from every surviving compliance deprecation notice: Calico
Enterprise 3.20-2 through 3.23-2, and Calico Cloud next, 22-2, and 23-2. Calico
Cloud compliance pages are kept; only the notices change.

releases.json is unchanged; the compliance-benchmarker component still ships.

Pull request overview

Removes Calico Enterprise compliance reporting documentation from next and version-3.24-1, while preserving the existing URLs for non-reporting pages that previously lived under the compliance section (for example, WireGuard and related security content). It also updates deprecation notices across Enterprise and Cloud docs to remove references to a future replacement.

Changes:

  • Removes compliance reporting docs, reference pages, resource docs, and related cross-links from Calico Enterprise next and version-3.24-1.
  • Relabels the former “Compliance and security” section to “Security” while keeping remaining pages at their current URLs.
  • Updates deprecation notices (Enterprise and Cloud, multiple versions) to remove mention of an upcoming replacement.

Superseded. The compliance removal was stacked directly onto the publishing PR #2893 (with the compliance release-note entry), per the plan to review and merge the publish and versions PRs together.
