LGTM.

@codyhoag LGTM.
I wonder, not being familiar with the install process, there are sections in some restricted install assemblies that seem to be UPI-specific: Completing installation on user-provisioned infrastructure, Creating the user-provisioned infrastructure. Do we need to expressly state in these sections that IPI folks don't need to do these steps or do the steps need to be modified for IPI?
Also, the issue states that _vSphere IPI_is supported for restricted. Do we need ifdef statements for vSphere only or is IPI supported for all platforms?

@mburke5678 your points are all valid, and currently a pain point we're trying to address. Historically, UPI was the only way, so restricted networks were understood to be UPI. Recently, a capability emerged that allowed for IPI installs to install into a restricted network, but the docs have not been updated to reflect that yet (OSP being the exception). The IPI procedures will require new assemblies (most cloud providers support IPI restricted now). This is currently in the queue to work on.

In summary, this is a known issue. But I do think a good short term goal would be to at least update the restricted network titles to explicitly state they're for UPI, now that there are two possibilities. I'll follow up with some edits for that once the freeze is lifted. Thanks!
