+You can customize the Packer configuration and provisioning scripts to suit your specific requirements.
 
 The following points can be customized in a packer variables file `variables.pkrvars.hcl`:
 
 **Subscription Configuration**
+
 * subscription_id (string): Your Azure subscription ID.
 * tenant_id (string): Your Azure Active Directory tenant ID.
 * client_id (string): The client ID (Service Principal ID) used for authentication.
 * client_secret (string): The client secret (Service Principal Secret) used for authentication.
 * primary_location (string): The primary Azure location you want to use.
 
 **Image Configuration**
+
 * image_definition_name (string): The name of the x86_64 image to use.
 * gdb_version (string): The version of GraphDB to install.
 * replication_regions (list(string)): A list of Azure regions for replication of the created image.
 
 **Gallery Configuration**
+
 * gallery_resource_group (string): The resource group where the image gallery is located.
 * gallery_name (string): The name of the image gallery.
 * image_replica_count (number): The number of replicas of the Image Version to be created per region. (default is 1).
 
 **Networking Configuration**
+
 * my_ip_address (string): Your IP address for network security settings.
 
 **OS and Image Defaults**
+
 * os_type (string): The operating system type (default is "Linux").
 * image_offer (string): The offer for the base image (default is "0001-com-ubuntu-server-jammy").
 * image_publisher (string): The publisher for the base image (default is "canonical").
 * image_sku (string): The SKU for the base image (default is "22_04-lts-gen2").

+* os_disk_size_gb (number): size of the OS disk in GB (default is 30). Depends on base VM image limitation,
   e.g., Ubuntu Server image has `os_disk_size_gb = 30`.
 
 **Provisioning Scripts**: You can replace or modify the provisioning scripts located in the `./files/` directory.
 These scripts and files are copied and executed during the AMI creation process.
 
 ## Limitations
+
 Timestamp is used for `image_version`, therefore if you want to build more than a single image per day, you should either
-delete the previously created image version or change the `image_version` property in `shared_image_gallery_destination` 
-to something else.
