What? (description)

Add comprehensive documentation for deploying Talos on Scaleway cloud platform.

Why? (reasoning)

Scaleway is a supported cloud platform for Talos but was previously undocumented. This creates a barrier for users wanting to deploy Talos on Scaleway (like me)

  • you included tests (if applicable)
  • you ran conformance (make conformance)
  • you formatted your code (make fmt)
  • you linted your code (make lint)
  • you generated documentation (make docs)

1. **Download the ISO image** of the Talos version you wish to run:
```bash
wget "https://factory.talos.dev/image/376567988ad370138ad8b2698212367b8edcb69b5fd68c80be1f2ec7d603b4ba/v{{< release >}}/scaleway-amd64.iso"

Yeah totally, that's the only way i had to make it work, with .raw.zst it never worked for me

This is very strange, as it contradicts previous instructions, and it doesn't make much sense to me, as ISO is not something you can put as a disk to the VM, it's only a temporary one-time way to boot.

I think something is wrong here.

With .raw.zst image disk, i can boot the node and initialize it, but when i reboot the instance, it never find the boot disk:

BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0001 "UEFI QEMU QEMU CD-ROM " from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/Scsi(0x0,0x0): Not Found
BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0002 "UEFI SCW sbs " from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/Scsi(0x1,0x0): Not Found
BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0003 "UEFI SCW sbs  2" from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/Scsi(0x2,0x0): Not Found
BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0004 "UEFI SCW sbs  3" from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/Scsi(0x3,0x0): Not Found
BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0005 "UEFI SCW sbs  4" from PciRoot(0x0)/Pci(0x3,0x0)/Scsi(0x4,0x0): Not Found

>>Start PXE over IPv4.

A problem i don't have with iso file.

That is odd, as if I understand correctly, the disk image should be on your disk by this time. But not an expert in Scaleway in any sense

Hello, for the reboot issue with .raw.zst image, I opened an issue here siderolabs/go-blockdevice#134
I think we should be able to avoid using ISO images when it's fixed.
