This rule controls the compute API validation behavior of creating a server with a flavor that has 0 disk, indicating the server should be volume-backed.

For a flavor with disk=0, the root disk will be set to exactly the size of the image used to deploy the instance. However, in this case the filter_scheduler cannot select the compute host based on the virtual image size. Therefore, 0 should only be used for volume booted instances or for testing purposes.

WARNING: It is a potential security exposure to enable this policy rule if users can upload their own images since repeated attempts to create a disk=0 flavor instance with a large image can exhaust the local disk of the compute (or shared storage cluster). See bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1739646 for details.
