Omni v1.11.0-beta.1 deprecates Talos install disk config patches

The Omni project has released version 1.11.0-beta.1, as noted in its GitHub release notes. Among the updates, a significant change is the deprecation of using config patches to set the Talos install disk. Starting with Talos 1.14, the installation flow has been restructured, and the install disk must now be defined as a separate resource. This approach is incompatible with older Talos versions, requiring operators to adapt their configurations accordingly.

Before upgrading to Omni v1.11.0-beta.1, operators should review any existing workflows or automation that rely on config patches for specifying install disks in Talos. These configurations will no longer function as expected, and transitioning to the new resource-based method is necessary. Additionally, operators managing mixed environments with Talos versions older than 1.14 should test compatibility thoroughly to avoid disruptions during deployment. This change aligns with a broader trend in infrastructure projects to move away from legacy configuration methods in favor of more modular and explicit resource definitions.
