PROFILE

Stephen Herr

Worked on the MicrosoftDocs/azure-compute-docs repository to deliver two major documentation features focused on RHEL deployments and upgrades for Azure. Updated repository access configuration guidance for RHEL 7, 8, and 9, replacing deprecated direct-download methods with local configuration files to improve provisioning reliability and reduce maintenance risk. Enhanced lifecycle and upgrade documentation by adding RHEL 10 support, clarifying in-place upgrade steps, and aligning content with Azure lifecycle policies. Employed Markdown for technical writing and leveraged cloud infrastructure expertise to ensure documentation was accurate, evergreen, and reduced ambiguity for customers managing RHEL environments on Azure virtual machines.
