+
+## **Key Integrations** - Choose Your Workflow
+
+### **Command Line Interface (CLI)** - Power at Your Fingertips
+The **EdgeConnect CLI** is your command-line companion for rapid edge deployments. Transform complex deployment workflows into simple, intuitive commands. With intelligent state comparison, deployment planning, and YAML-based configuration parsing, this battle-tested tool brings professional-grade deployment management directly to your terminal. Whether you're orchestrating multi-platform releases or managing application lifecycles, the CLI provides the speed and precision that DevOps engineers demand.
+
+**Key Features:**
+- Configuration parsing and validation via YAML files
+- Deployment planning with state comparison capabilities
+- Cross-platform support
+
+**Repository**: https://edp.buildth.ing/DevFW-CICD/edge-connect-client
+
+### **Go SDK** - Build Edge-Native Applications
+Embed Edge Connect directly into your Go applications with the **Go SDK**. Whether you're building custom deployment tools, automation pipelines, or management dashboards, the SDK provides native Go bindings for the complete Edge Connect API. Clean, idiomatic Go code with comprehensive error handling and type safety means you can focus on building features, not wrestling with HTTP clients.
+
+**Perfect For:** Custom tooling, automation scripts, CI/CD integrations, and any Go application that needs programmatic access to Edge Connect infrastructure.
+
+**Repository**: https://edp.buildth.ing/DevFW-CICD/edge-connect-client
+
+### **Terraform Provider** - Infrastructure as Code, Simplified
+Declare your edge infrastructure with confidence using the **Terraform Provider for Edge Connect**. Manage applications and instances across regions with familiar HCL syntax. Full CRUD lifecycle management, Kubernetes manifest support, and seamless integration with your existing Terraform workflows. Deploy once, replicate everywhere—the infrastructure-as-code way.
+
+**Repository**: https://edp.buildth.ing/DevFW-CICD/terraform-provider-edge-connect
+
+### **GitHub Actions Suite** - CI/CD on Autopilot
+Three powerful actions that integrate Edge Connect directly into your GitHub workflows:
+
+- **Deploy Action**: Push your containers to the edge with a single workflow step, powered by Edge Connect SDK 2.0.1
+- **Delete Action**: Clean up resources effortlessly with force-delete capabilities
+- **Action Demo**: A complete working example showing automated builds triggered by commit SHAs, complete with Kubernetes manifests and CI/CD best practices
+
+Turn every git push into an edge deployment with no manual intervention required.
+
+**Repositories**:

+- https://edp.buildth.ing/DevFW-CICD/edgeconnect-action-demo
+
+### **MCP Server** - AI-Native Edge Management
+The **Edge Connect MCP Server** brings cutting-edge AI tooling to infrastructure management. Built on the Model Context Protocol, it offers:
+
+- Rich, interactive web-based dashboards powered by MCP-UI
+- Full application lifecycle management through conversational interfaces
+- Local (stdio) and remote (HTTP streaming) operation modes
+
+Manage your edge infrastructure through Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible client. The future of infrastructure management is conversational.

+
+## **Use Cases** - See It in Action
+
+### **Deployment Examples** - Hit the Ground Running
+The **edge-connect-deployment-examples** repository is your blueprint for success. Featuring real-world Terraform configurations for Edge Connect, including database integrations and infrastructure bootstrapping templates. Clone, customize, and deploy your edge solution can be live in minutes, not days.
+
+**Repository**: https://edp.buildth.ing/DevFW-CICD/edge-connect-deployment-examples
+
+### **GARM Provider** - Scale Your GitHub Actions Runners
+Transform your CI/CD capacity with the **GARM Edge Connect Provider**. Deploy ephemeral GitHub Actions runners as Kubernetes pods across edge locations. Automatic resource cleanup, customizable pod specs, and multi-platform support mean your pipelines scale elastically across the edge. Why pay for idle cloud runners when you can deploy exactly what you need, where you need it?
+
+**Repository**: https://edp.buildth.ing/DevFW-CICD/garm-provider-edge-connect
+
+### **Coder Integration** - Your Development Environment, Anywhere on the Edge (In development)
+Bring the power of cloud development environments directly to the edge with the **Coder Edge Connect Integration**. This Terraform-based workspace template seamlessly deploys fully-featured VS Code development environments as Kubernetes workloads on Edge Connect infrastructure.
+
+**What It Does:**
+- **On-Demand Workspaces**: Spin up isolated development environments with customizable CPU, memory, and disk configurations
+- **Browser-Based IDE**: Automatic code-server provisioning gives you VS Code in your browser—code from anywhere, deploy to the edge
+- **Real-Time Monitoring**: Built-in Coder agent integration tracks CPU, memory, disk usage, and load averages for both containers and host systems
+- **Edge-Native Deployment**: Workspaces run as Kubernetes pods directly on Edge Connect cloudlets, bringing compute closer to your dataent
+
+**Perfect For:** Distributed development teams, edge application developers, and organizations needing secure, scalable development environments close to production edge infrastructure.
+
+**Repository**: https://edp.buildth.ing/DevFW/POC-coder-edge-connect
+
+## **The Edge Connect Advantage**
+
+This isn't just another cloud platform. It's a **complete ecosystem** designed for developer velocity:
+
+- **Multi-language support**: CLI, Go SDK, Terraform, GitHub Actions
+- **AI-native tooling**: MCP server integration for conversational infrastructure management
+- **Open and extensible**: From simple demos to complex GARM integrations
+
+**Your edge infrastructure, your way. Deploy in minutes, scale without limits.**
