Problem: Current docs list Azure “tested machine types” using SKU-style names, leading to confusion with Azure ML VM SKU naming.

What/Proposal: Review supported Azure instance types and reframe docs to use Azure VM “Series” families instead of SKU enumerations. Align with Azure’s official VM size family list and provide mapping guidance/examples while keeping OpenShift support boundaries clear.

Deliverables:

• Updated guidance/structure for Azure machine families in OpenShift docs
• PR(s) updating docs to Series-based machine list.

Acceptance Criteria:

• Docs reference Azure VM Series families, not SKU enumerations
• Clear linkage between Series families from Azure and OpenShift.
