Kristal Dale b7288202cf Get Started cleanup for translation (#630)
* Basic clean up and standardization of intro in preparation for translation.

- Simplify sentences.
- Remove idiomatic phrases.

Signed-off-by: Kristal Dale <kristal.dale@intel.com>

* Additional minor edits to simplify sentence/word choice for translation.

Signed-off-by: Kristal Dale <kristal.dale@intel.com>

* Removed section "Kernel Container" from compatible-kernels.rst as
Clear Containers are now deprecated and bundle no longer exists.

Compatible kernels
##################
The |CL-ATTR| provides the following Linux kernels with a respective bundle.
This document describes the specific use cases these `bundles`_ serve
and provides links to their source code.
Kernel native
=============
The *kernel-native* bundle focuses on the bare metal platforms. It is optimized
for fast booting and performs best on the Intel® architectures described on the
:ref:`supported hardware list<system-requirements>`.
The optimization patches are found in the `Linux`_ GitHub\* repo.
.. _vm-kernels:
Kernel LTS
==========
The *kernel-lts* bundle focuses on the bare metal platforms but uses the latest
:abbr:`LTS (Long Term Support)` Linux kernel. It is optimized for fast booting
and performs best on the Intel® architectures described on the
:ref:`supported hardware list<system-requirements>`. This kernel also includes
the VirtualBox\* kernel modules. See the
:ref:`instructions on using Virtualbox<virtualbox-cl-installer>` for more
information.
The optimization patches are found in the `Linux-LTS`_ GitHub repo.
Kernel KVM
==========
The *kernel-kvm* bundle focuses on the Linux
:abbr:`KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)`. It is optimized for fast booting
and performs best on virtual machines running on the Intel® architectures
described in the :ref:`supported hardware list<system-requirements>`.
Use this kernel when running |CL| as the guest OS on top of *qemu/kvm* or with
**cloud orchestrators** using *qemu/kvm* internally as
their **hypervisor**. This kernel can be used as a standalone |CL| VM. See
the :ref:`instructions on using KVM<kvm>` for more information.
The optimization patches are found in the `Linux-KVM`_ GitHub repo.
Kernel Hyper-V\*
================
The *kernel-hyperv* bundle focuses on running Linux on Microsoft\*
Hyper-V. It is optimized for fast booting and performs best on Virtual
Machines running on the Intel® architectures described on the
:ref:`supported hardware list<system-requirements>`.
Use this kernel when running |CL| as the guest OS of **Cloud Instances** in
projects such as Microsoft `Azure`_\*. This kernel can be used in a
standalone |CL| VM. See the :ref:`instructions on using Hyper-V<hyper-v>` for
more information.
The optimization patches are found in the `Linux-HyperV`_ GitHub repo.
Kernel Hyper-V LTS
==================
The *kernel-hyperv-lts* bundle focuses on running Linux on Microsoft
Hyper-V but uses the latest :abbr:`LTS (Long Term Support)` Linux kernel. It
is optimized for fast booting and performs best on virtual machines running on
the Intel® architectures described on the
:ref:`supported hardware list<system-requirements>`. Use this kernel when
running |CL| as the guest OS of **Cloud Instances** in projects such as
Microsoft `Azure`_. This kernel can be used in a standalone |CL| VM. See our
:ref:`instructions on using Hyper-V<hyper-v>` for more information.
The optimization patches are found in the `Linux-HyperV-LTS`_ GitHub repo.
