feat(vm-base): add nvme-cli to image package list#17145
Merged
Conversation
nvme-cli is the user-space tool for managing and inspecting NVMe devices. Including it in the vm-base images makes it possible to query NVMe controller and namespace status (e.g. `nvme list`, `nvme smart-log`) directly from Azure VMs, which is useful for diagnosing and understanding the NVMe-backed local and remote disks exposed to Azure Linux guests.
