+# Ghaymah SRE Exam Repository
+
+This repository collects the solutions and supporting material for the Ghaymah SRE exam. Each folder contains one task answer or a shared reference used by multiple answers.
+
+## Repository Layout
+
+| Folder | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `q1-deploy-monitor/` | Deploying a sample API on Ghaymah Containers, with health checks, dashboard, and monitoring scripts. |
+| `q2-postmortem/` | Blameless postmortem for a service outage and the follow-up remediation plan. |
+| `q3-cicd/` | GitHub Actions CI/CD workflow with staging and production deployment flow. |
+| `q4-scalability/` | Scalability and load-balancing calculations, including container sizing and scaling strategy. |
+| `q5-mithal-monitor/` | Self-contained monitor for mithal.space with a browser dashboard and HTTP metrics endpoint. |
+| `common-mortakaz/` | Shared integration ideas with products discovered through Mortakaz. |
+| `common-qabilah/` | Shared profile/reference material used by the exam answers. |
+
+## What Each Task Covers
+
+`q1-deploy-monitor/` includes a Flask API, Dockerfile, and monitoring utilities for deployment on Ghaymah Containers.
+
+`q2-postmortem/` documents the incident analysis, root cause, impact, timeline, and corrective actions.
+
+`q3-cicd/` describes a CI/CD pipeline that builds once, deploys to staging, and requires manual approval before production.
+
+`q4-scalability/` explains the traffic assumptions, the container count calculation, and the recommended auto-scaling strategy.
+
+`q5-mithal-monitor/` provides a standalone Python monitor plus `dashboard.html` for live visibility into latency, uptime, DNS, SSL, and search checks.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+If you want to inspect a specific answer, open the relevant folder directly. For the runnable tasks:
+
+- Open `q1-deploy-monitor/dashboard.html` in a browser to view the monitoring UI.
+- Run `q1-deploy-monitor/health-check.py` or `q1-deploy-monitor/health-check.sh` against the deployed service.
+- Run `q5-mithal-monitor/monitor.py` to collect checks and serve the dashboard locally.
+
+## Notes
+
+- The repository is organized as a set of independent answers, so there is no single top-level application to build.
+- Most documentation is written in Arabic to match the exam format, while this README serves as the entry point.
