Docs review summary

Focus areas

• Style and clarity: Mostly clean edits (fixed a duplicated "to to", removed a stray "please" is unrelated/pre-existing). Left a nit on an inline-code formatting inconsistency in the shared limitations snippet.
• Jargon: No unexplained Elastic-internal jargon introduced by this diff; {{serverless-short}}/{{serverless-full}} substitutions are used consistently and expand to full terms.
• Frontmatter and applies_to: Found one concrete bug — the new sub.example-phz-dn value in restrictions-known-problems.md ("vpce.us-east-1.aws.elastic-cloud.com in AWS") is malformed (has " in AWS" appended) and appears unused in the current diff; see inline comment. Other applies_to/products additions for serverless (azure, private-connectivity, ip-filtering) look consistent with existing patterns in the same files.
• Content type fit: The expanded how-to/reference content (Requirements sections, region tables, API metadata retrieval) fits the existing page structure and content type for each file.
• Parent issue satisfaction: Not applicable — no linked issue; PR body describes the doc scope directly and the diff appears to cover the described Azure Serverless expansion, AWS service names, and "AWS only" → "AWS and Azure" corrections.

Notes

• Vale findings (Elastic.MappedPages warnings) are pre-existing mapped_pages entries, not introduced by this PR, so not flagged individually.
• Did not flag broken links/anchors, which the docs build validates separately.
