Pull request overview
Adds additional prerequisite guidance to the Azure Local RHEL image preparation doc to help readers understand up-front requirements (cloud-init and kernel modules) before building an image.
Changes:
- Added two new prerequisite bullets calling out cloud-init expectations.
- Added a new prerequisite bullet calling out kernel module expectations.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
| - If cloud-init is required, it should be stated in the prerequisites, including the necessary configuration. | ||
| - If specific kernel modules are required (or none are required), it should be stated in the prerequisites. <<This would help customers prepare enterprise pipelines as manually running ISO's with every installation is not scalable>> |

The new prerequisite bullets are written as meta-guidance (“if X is required, it should be stated…”) rather than actionable prerequisites for readers. Consider replacing them with concrete requirements (for example, whether cloud-init is required for Azure Local VM provisioning/guest management, and if so what minimum version/config is needed, and whether any specific kernel modules must be present) or removing them if they aren’t requirements. Also align this with the later step that installs cloud-init so the doc doesn’t contradict itself.

| - Have access to an Azure Local instance. This system is deployed, registered, and connected to Azure Arc. Go to the **Overview** page in the Azure Local resource. On the **Server** tab on the right pane, **Azure Arc** should appear as **Connected**. | ||

We support all Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x, 8.x, and 9.x versions. Here, we downloaded the *rhel-9.4-x86_64-boot.iso* file. | ||

Avoid inline editorial notes/placeholders like <<...>> in published docs; it reads like an internal comment. Also “ISO's” should be pluralized as “ISOs”.

| - If specific kernel modules are required (or none are required), state this in the prerequisites so that customers can prepare enterprise pipelines without manually running ISOs for every installation. |

@v-Andre - can you please share more about these changes? They don't seem clear. I reached out to the owning PM, and they don't align with these changes. We can't give the sign off on this request. |
