Several Microsoft/GitHub links were broken. This change replaces them with working ones. It also contains a minor correction regarding RBAC targets of Compute Gallery anchors.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Updated Azure documentation links to current Microsoft Learn and Azure service pages. Corrected Azure Compute Gallery role, anchor, and reference details. Revised Azure CPI property links, version references, and Azure Stack Hub terminology. Updated troubleshooting, managed identity, region, account creation, and environment initialization guidance.

Suggested reviewers: neddp

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2618d

Azure deployment guidance may direct operators to assign insufficient storage permissions, causing CPI setup to fail when retrieving VHD storage keys. Disk documentation links also lead readers away from the limits and managed-disk SKU details needed to configure disks correctly; these documentation defects should be corrected before merge.

Restrict this role assignment to the storage-account scope.

Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/listKeys/action targets the parent storage account. A role assignment at the VHD container scope does not authorize that action. The current Storage Account/Container guidance can therefore make the CPI fail to retrieve the key. (learn.microsoft.com)

Update the row to list only the storage-account resource scope.

Link the disk-size references to technical limits documentation.

These unmanaged links now lead to Azure page-blob pricing. The target does not document the maximum page-blob size referenced by these sentences. Link to the page-blob overview or Azure limits documentation instead. (azure.microsoft.com)

For `PremiumV2_LRS`, you have to set caching to `None` since `PremiumV2_LRS` does currently not support caching.

For more details, see [Premium SSD v2 performance](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/virtual-machines/disks-types#premium-ssd-v2-performance). Only supported for `PremiumV2_LRS`

Link managed-disk values to managed-disk documentation.

The type entries list managed-disk SKUs, including PremiumV2_LRS, but the new target is the storage-account overview. That page does not document this SKU. Link these descriptions to the Azure managed disk types documentation. (learn.microsoft.com)

- **domain** [String, optional]: The domain for your AzureStack deployment. Default is `local.azurestack.external`. You can use the default value for Azure Stack Development Kit. To get this value for Azure Stack integrated systems, contact your service provider.
- **authentication** [String, optional]: The authentication type for your AzureStack deployment. Possible values are: `AzureAD`, `AzureChinaCloudAD` and `ADFS`. You need to specify `certificate` if you select `ADFS`, because Azure Stack with ADFS authentication only supports the service principal with a certificate.
- **resource** [String, optional]: Active Directory Service Endpoint Resource ID, where you can get the token for your AzureStack deployment.
- **endpoint_prefix** [String, optional]: The endpoint prefix for your AzureStack deployment. Default is `management`.
- **skip\_ssl\_validation** [Boolean, optional]: Toggles verification of the Azure Resource Manager REST API SSL certificate. Default is `false`. Deprecated in v35.0.0+.
- **use\_http\_to\_access\_storage\_account** [Boolean, optional]: Flag for using HTTP to access storage account rather than the default HTTPS. Default is `false`. Deprecated in v35.0.0+.

Use Azure Stack Hub consistently in the prose.

These lines still use AzureStack and Azure Stack after Line 423 identifies the product as Azure Stack Hub. Use Azure Stack Hub in the prose. Keep the azure_stack configuration key and local.azurestack.external DNS value unchanged. (learn.microsoft.com)
