Proposed rewrite to "Creating Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines for NGINX Open Source and F5 NGINX Plus"

[jawfu-M]

NOTE: this is a rewrite only. No technical changes.

The original documentation was slightly difficult to read and follow. It had complex sentences and paragraphs that scored 14 on the Hemmingway app. Some constructs were conflicting or confusing, which took longer to understand.

I improved the document’s readability and clarity, making it accessible to a wider, non-expert audience. Here’s how:

• Rewrote complex paragraphs graded at 14 to achieve Grade 6 clarity without losing meaning
• Shortened lengthy sentences to improve readability and flow
• Converted a dense, difficult step into a clear, bulleted list of actionable tasks
• Replaced overly technical words with simpler language
• Clarified technical concepts to make them understandable for non-specialist readers
• Shifted tone from passive to active voice to increase directness

Testing: I used the Hemmingway app to confirm readability and studied the terms individually to ensure they were all updated.
