 Concepts help you learn about the different parts
 of the Istio system and the abstractions it uses.
 
-- What Is Istio?
-
-    - [Overview](./overview.html). Provides a broad overview of what
-problems Istio is designed to solve.
-
-    - [Design Goals](./goals.html). Describes the core principles that
-    Istio's design adheres to.
-
-    - [Architecture](./architecture.html). Highlights Istio's core
-    architectural structure and components.
-
-- Traffic Management
-
-    - [Overview](./traffic-management-overview.html). Provides a conceptual overview of
-      traffic management principles in Istio and the kind of features
-      enabled by these principles.
-      
-    - [Istio-Manager](./manager.html). Introduces the Istio-Manager, the
-    component responsible for managing a distributed deployment of Envoy
-    proxies in the service mesh.
-
-    - [Service Model](./service-model.html). Describes how services are
-    modeled within the Istio mesh, the notion of multiple versions of a
-    service, and the communiction model between services.
-
-    - [Handling Failures](./handling-failures.html). An overview of failure
-      recovery capabilities in Envoy that can be leveraged by unmodified
-      applications to improve robustness and prevent cascading failures.
-
-    - [Fault Injection](./fault-injection.html). Introduces the idea of
-      systematic fault injection that can be used to unconver conflicting
-      failure recovery policies across services.
-      
-    - [Rules Configuration](./rules-configuration.html). Provides a high-level
-      overview of the domain-specific language used by Istio to configure
-      traffic management rules in the service mesh.
-      
-- Policies and Control
-
-    - [Attributes](./attributes.html). Explains the important notion of attributes, which
-    is a central mechanism for how policies and control are applied to services within the
-    mesh.
-
-    - [Mixer](./mixer.html). Architectural deep-dive into the design of Mixer, which provides
-    the policy and control mechanisms within the service mesh.
-
-    - [Mixer Configuration](./mixer-config.html). An overview of the key concepts used to configure
-    Mixer.
