App Layering disk defragment

Often, customers need to apply specific optimizations to their images after they're published from App Layering and before they're deployed with Provisioning Services or Machine Creation Services. One common example is to defragment the VHD/VHDx, which is created during publish.

This feature, available in App Layering 2309, adds a new option to the image template configuration which, when enabled, automatically initiates disk defragmentation each time the template is published.
