Preferring diskless flavors in SCS

Purpose

Sovereign Cloud Stack (SCS) downgraded the formerly mandatory flavors with root disks to recommended ones when the flavor naming standard version 3 became effective in the fall 2023. For many users using flavors that comprise a root disk is still the standard and at least when using CLI tooling, it's also simpler.

This article documents how the diskless flavors can be used with common IaC tooling.
