      Section number and name:

      Describe the issue:
      There are conflicting recommendations for /boot size between the above guide (Azure deployment) and the RHEL 9 installation guide (https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/interactively_installing_rhel_from_installation_media/customizing-the-system-in-the-installer_rhel-installer#recommended-partitioning-scheme_manual-partitioning)

       

      Impact of this issue:
      Systems with only 500MB of /boot will have a hard time updating with newer kernels due to lack of free space.

       

      Suggestions for improvement:

      In Azure guide it is mentioned "Verify at least 500 MB for /boot. " while it should probably be reworded to "Verify at least 500 MB for /boot. However, 1 GB (or more) is recommended".
