Example - deploy a whole-disk (dd-zst) Windows image with Eikon, no eikon/plan needed

Version-agnostic example for deploying a whole-disk Windows Server raw-disk (dd-zst) image with Eikon. The Windows deploy path has no per-version handling, so the same profile covers Windows Server 2019, 2022, and 2025 - just point eikon/image-url at your .raw.zst.

No eikon/plan is needed for a whole-disk image. Set the image type, URL, and target device directly and Eikon renders a disks[].image whole-disk write. Reach for eikon/plan only when you need a custom storage layout (explicit partitioning, LVM, SW-RAID, or multiple images).

Set the Administrator password with eikon/win-unattend-password (a Secure param, applied via unattend.xml on both the unattend and cloud-init paths). Do not also set image-deploy/admin-password: on the cloud-init path that hands the Administrator account to cloudbase-init and can lock you out.
