The {ai-full} supports the various deployment platforms with a focus on bare metal, Nutanix, and vSphere infrastructures.
 
 The {ai-full} provides installation functionality as a service. This software-as-a-service (SaaS) approach has the following advantages:
 
 * *Web user interface:* The web user interface performs cluster installation without the user having to create the installation configuration files manually.
 * *No bootstrap node:* A bootstrap node is not required when installing with the {ai-full}. The bootstrapping process executes on a node within the cluster.
 * *Hosting:* The {ai-full} hosts:
-  - Ignition files
-  - The installation configuration
-  - A discovery ISO
-  - The installer
+** Ignition files
+** The installation configuration
+** A discovery ISO
+** The installer
 * *Streamlined installation workflow:* Deployment does not require in-depth knowledge of {product-title}. The {ai-full} provides reasonable defaults and provides the installer as a service, which:
-  - Eliminates the need to install and run the {product-title} installer locally.
-  - Ensures the latest version of the installer up to the latest tested z-stream releases. Older versions remain available, if needed.
-  - Enables building automation by using the API without the need to run the {product-title} installer locally.
-* *Advanced networking:* The {ai-full} supports IPv4 networking with SDN and OVN, IPv6 and dual stack networking with OVN only, NMState-based static IP addressing, and an HTTP/S proxy. OVN is the default Container Network Interface (CNI) for OpenShift Container Platform 4.12 and later releases, but you can use SDN.
-
-* *Preinstallation validation:* The {ai-full} validates the configuration before installation to ensure a high probability of success. Validation includes:
-  - Ensuring network connectivity
-  - Ensuring sufficient network bandwidth
-  - Ensuring connectivity to the registry
-  - Ensuring time synchronization between cluster nodes
-  - Verifying that the cluster nodes meet the minimum hardware requirements
-  - Validating the installation configuration parameters

+** Verifying that the cluster nodes meet the minimum hardware requirements
+** Validating the installation configuration parameters
 * *REST API:* The {ai-full} has a REST API, enabling automation.
 
 The {ai-full} supports installing {product-title} on premises in a connected environment, including with an optional HTTP/S proxy. It can install the following:
 
-* Highly available {product-title} or Single Node OpenShift (SNO)
+* Highly available {product-title} or {sno} (SNO)
 
 * {product-title} on bare metal, Nutanix, or vSphere with full platform integration, or other virtualization platforms without integration
 * Optionally {VirtProductName} and {rh-storage} (formerly OpenShift Container Storage)
 
 The user interface provides an intuitive interactive workflow where automation does not exist or is not required. Users may also automate installations using the REST API.
