Update redirecting links to resolved URLs
What does this MR do and why?
Updates external documentation links that currently return an HTTP redirect so they point directly at their resolved destination URLs.
The changes were generated by the new fix-redirects task in docs-gitlab-com, which follows
redirects with lychee and rewrites the source links to their final targets.
Reviewer attention
- 22 GitLab self-links are modernized from the old
/tree/master/…style to/-/blob/master/…, which eliminates the redirect. The?ref_type=headsquery parameter that GitLab's redirect adds has been stripped so the URLs stay clean. - 9 Google Cloud links change host from
cloud.google.com/…todocs.cloud.google.com/…. Please verify this domain change is correct and stable before merging.
The remaining changes are straightforward (for example, kubernetes blob/master → blob/main,
trailing slashes, and AWS docs landing pages). GitLab issue, epic, and work-item redirects were left
for manual review and are not included.
