I agree the page in its current form is a little confusing. I think we need to be very careful recommending that people install non-default kernels, making clear that it's a hack and only suitable for people who know exactly what they are doing (cloud providers often ship additional modules to support their specialist hardware, or specific optimisations/security fixes).
Ultimately what we want to express is:
I've made some changes that I think express a sense of "here be dragons" for installing a different kernel version.
@Arau If you feel that we shouldn't be telling people to use a different OS in the case of Ubuntu 16.04/18.04 AWS and Ubuntu 18.04 GCE then feel free to make changes in this branch
Before merging lets squash commits.
Commits squashed. @actionbuddha are you happy with these changes?
I'm opening this PR to address two issues:
In the current state of this PR, I'm satisfied that the overview page is ready to be reviewed. The system configuration page needs to be checked as it's not clear to me when to run the commands under the //TODO section. If you look at the current docs I think that you're supposed to run them if you have a non-cloud optimized kernel.
