 ## Prerequisites
 
-To enable your VM to authenticate to the machine configuration service, your VM must have a [system-assigned managed identity](/azure/active-directory/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview). You can satisfy the identity requirement for your VM by setting the `"type": "SystemAssigned"` property:

 ### Internet connectivity
 
-The agent installed by the machine configuration extension must be able to reach content packages listed by guest configuration assignments,
-and report status to the machine configuration service. The VM can connect by using outbound HTTPS over TCP port 443, or a connection provided through private networking.

 ## Install the extension
 
-You can install and deploy the machine configuration extension directly from the Azure CLI or PowerShell. Deployment templates are also available for Azure Resource Manager (ARM), Bicep, and Terraform. For deployment template details, see [Microsoft.GuestConfiguration guestConfigurationAssignments](/azure/templates/microsoft.guestconfiguration/guestconfigurationassignments?pivots=deployment-language-arm-template).

 ### Deployment considerations
 
-Before you install and deploy the machine configuration extension, review the following considerations.
+Before you install and deploy the Machine Configuration extension, review the following considerations.
 
-- **Instance name**. When you install the machine configuration extension, the instance name of the extension must be set to `AzurePolicyforWindows` or `AzurePolicyforLinux`. The security baseline definition policies described earlier require these specific strings.
+- **Instance name**. When you install the Machine Configuration extension, the instance name of the extension must be set to `AzurePolicyforWindows` or `AzurePolicyforLinux`. The security baseline definition policies described earlier require these specific strings.
 
-- **Versions**. By default, all deployments update to the latest version. The value of the `autoUpgradeMinorVersion` property defaults to `true` unless otherwise specified. This feature helps to alleviate concerns about updating your code when new versions of the machine configuration extension are released.

-- **Automatic upgrade**. The machine configuration extension supports the `enableAutomaticUpgrade` property. When this property is set to `true`, Azure automatically upgrades to the latest version of the extension as future releases become available.

-- **Other properties**. You don't need to include any settings or protected-settings properties on the machine configuration extension. The agent retrieves this class of information from the Azure REST API [Guest Configuration assignment](/rest/api/guestconfiguration/guestconfigurationassignments) resources. For example, the [`ConfigurationUri`](/rest/api/guestconfiguration/guestconfigurationassignments/createorupdate#guestconfigurationnavigation), [`Mode`](/rest/api/guestconfiguration/guestconfigurationassignments/createorupdate#configurationmode), and [`ConfigurationSetting`](/rest/api/guestconfiguration/guestconfigurationassignments/createorupdate#configurationsetting) properties are each managed per-configuration rather than on the VM extension.
