Purpose

Adds a blog post on building an internal developer platform on Azure with OpenChoreo. It covers the questions a platform team still needs to answer on top of AKS and Azure's managed services, how OpenChoreo answers them, how the four planes map to Azure services, one service going from a commit to production, and a hub-and-spoke production topology.

- Around line 112-114: Update the ComponentRelease and ReleaseBinding
explanation to state that OpenChoreo creates the binding automatically when the
