Problem to solve
Right now, we have a pretty large list of items under Operations:
We currently have eight items, with another possibly forthcoming as we add an alerts manager into the UI.
Currently, Operations is used as a holding ground for most Monitor and Configure items. But, the list order feels like it's not quite right currently (for example, Logs is separate from Metrics and Tracing, even though the three are closely linked to Observability). Perhaps we should investigate if the current ordering makes sense, or if it should be cleaned up a bit?

Proposal
We have two proposals here, and we want to get feedback on which is the right way forward.
Option 1: Separating out the current Operations tab into Operations and Infrastructure
| Operations | Infrastructure |
|---|---|
 |
 |
Option 2: Separating out the current Operations tab into Operations, Infrastructure and Environments
| Operations | Environments | Infrastructure |
|---|---|---|
 |
 |
 |
Option 3: Creating a new releases section, and adding Environments to it
| Operations section | Infrastructure section | Releases section |
|---|---|---|
