Description

The example documentation includes a SCSI scratch disk configuration block.

Users may accidentally copy this portion without an understanding of the cost implications. It's sort of hidden that this is in fact adding a 375GB disk to the instance. It would be nice to make a note regarding the default disk size and cost implications OR remove the block altogether.

// Local SSD disk
  scratch_disk {
    interface = "SCSI"
  }

This will also cause users to hit resource limits within a region much more quickly.
