This PR adds a comprehensive guide explaining the concept of Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in computer science, addressing the question "What is de-militarisation zone in computer science?"

The new documentation (dmz-demilitarized-zone.md) covers:

Core Concepts:

  • Definition and purpose of DMZ in networking and cybersecurity
  • Security benefits including isolation, risk containment, and compliance
  • Traditional three-tier, dual-homed, and screened subnet architectures

Practical Implementation:

  • Common DMZ services (web servers, mail servers, DNS, VPN gateways)
  • Security best practices with firewall configuration examples
  • Network segmentation and access control strategies

Modern Applications:

# Example: AWS DMZ with CloudFormation
Resources:
  PublicSubnet:
    Type: AWS::EC2::Subnet
    Properties:
      CidrBlock: 10.0.1.0/24
      MapPublicIpOnLaunch: true

Advanced Topics:

  • Cloud DMZ implementations (AWS, Azure, GCP)
  • Container and Kubernetes DMZ with network policies
  • Microservices DMZ using API gateways
  • Monitoring, compliance (PCI DSS, NIST), and future trends

The documentation follows the established repository pattern with clear explanations, practical code examples, real-world use cases, and extensive references for further learning. It also updates the README.md to include the new topic under a "Network Security & Architecture" section.

Fixes #76.
