Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The values for VMSize that are allowed are mentioned in the ARM templates for Azure UPI which looks like an extra overhead on the team to constantly update it everytime Azure adds/modifies the VMSize values. Removing the allowedValues field and recommending the user to provide the minimum requirement for a VM in the docs should be a better solution.

What happened?

Not each of the VM size in the allowedValue of VM Size in ARM templates work, and not all of the allowed VM Size are listed.

such as Standard_A2 are PremiumIO=false, can no be used.


What did you expect to happen?

list the vm sizes which we can used in doc
For Azure, the vm size needs to match the following: 
1. PremiumIO=true
2. HyperVGenerations Contains 'V1'
3. vCPUsAvailable and  MemoryGB meet the following minimum requirements: 
worker VM: 4 vCPUsAvaliable, 8GB Memory
master VM: 8 vCPUsAvaliable, 16GB Memory


How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

Based on https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.9/installing/installing_azure/installing-azure-user-infra.html
Specify the bootstrapVMSize parameter with "Standard_A2" in 04_bootstrap.json ARM template https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.9/installing/installing_azure/installing-azure-user-infra.html#installation-arm-bootstrap_installing-azure-user-infra

az deployment group create -g $RESOURCE_GROUP --template-file "04_bootstrap.json" --parameters bootstrapIgnition="$BOOTSTRAP_IGNITION" --parameters sshKeyData="$SSH_KEY"   --parameters baseName="$INFRA_ID" --parameters bootstrapVMSize="Standard_A2" --verbose

Got the following error:
{"status":"Failed","error":{"code":"DeploymentFailed","message":"At least one resource deployment operation failed. Please list deployment operations for details. Please see https://aka.ms/DeployOperations for usage details.","details":[{"code":"BadRequest","message":"{\r\n  \"error\": {\r\n    \"code\": \"InvalidParameter\",\r\n    \"message\": \"Requested operation cannot be performed because the VM size Standard_A2 does not support the storage account type Premium_LRS of disk 'maxupr-fhk9c-bootstrap_OSDisk'. Consider updating the VM to a size that supports Premium storage.\",\r\n    \"target\": \"osDisk.managedDisk.storageAccountType\"\r\n  }\r\n}"}]}}
