      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      I am deploying RHEL 9 in the azure cloud. I've noticed that the defaults of the golden images (byos and payg) do not adhere to the stated rhel minimums from the docs:
      https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html-single/interactively_installing_rhel_from_installation_media/index#recommended-partitioning-scheme_manual-partitioning
      it states that /boot should be at least 1G, on azure-rhel8 it's 496M on azure-rhel9 it's 436M. I am guessing it's easy to remedy for new images, there is enough space on the disk, by default rhel gets installed on a 64G disk on azure.

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      Looking at the RHEL9 servers I have the space is fairly tight for the default of keeping 3 kernels +kdump initramfs (and having the space to install another one during updates).

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      How reproducible is this bug?:
