Installation Guide for the New Ingress v6.0.0 MySQL Software with Middleware - BETA Version

We are pleased to announce the Beta release of the new Ingress software v6.0.0 with MySQL and Middleware support, which eliminates the need for separate AWDMS software. 

This release is available as a Beta version only, with the official release scheduled soon. The Beta rollout offers an alternative to the previous setup using Ingress with AWDMS middleware. 

Important Note: Existing users currently operating Ingress with AWDMS are advised to wait for the official release before transitioning, to ensure full compatibility and support.
