-A minimal guest agent implementation for provisioning Linux VMs on Azure.
+A reference implementation for provisioning Linux VMs on Azure.
 
-The agent configures Linux guests from provisioning metadata.
-Contrary to complex guest configuration and customisation systems like e.g. cloud-init, Azure-Init aims to be minimal.
+Azure-init configures Linux guests from provisioning metadata.
+Contrary to complex guest configuration and customisation systems like e.g. cloud-init, azure-init aims to be minimal.
 It strictly focuses on basic instance initialisation from Azure metadata.
 
-Azure-Init has very few requirements on its environment, so it may run in a very early stage of the boot process.
