Generally Available: Windows Gen 2 VM support in AKS

Gen 2 VM SKUs are now generally available for Windows on AKS. Azure [Generation 2 (Gen2) virtual machines (VMs)](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/generation-2) support key features not supported in generation 1 VMs (Gen1). This enables you to bring Windows workloads to the cloud native platform more easily. Key features for Gen 2 VMs include increased memory, Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX), and virtualized persistent memory (vPMEM). Generation 2 VMs use the new UEFI-based boot architecture rather than the BIOS-based architecture used by generation 1 VMs. Only specific SKUs and sizes support Gen2 VMs. Check the [list of supported sizes](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/generation-2#generation-2-vm-sizes), to see if your SKU supports or requires Gen2\. Gen2 VMs on Windows are supported for WS2022 only.
