Please document new VM types

What is this issue about?

In your own words, describe the issue.
What steps/actions led to the issue?

I tried to deploy the latest version of CF using the existing documentation (specifically: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-deployment/blob/main/texts/on-cloud-configs.md#vm-types).

Deployment errors because VM type medium does not exist.

Side note: I like the table setup, for example, that exists for OpenStack -- especially since it suggests the ephemeral disk size. (see: https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-deployment/blob/main/iaas-support/openstack/README.md)

The medium VM doesn't appear to be in any example cloud-configs either.

What version of cf-deployment are you using?

v43.1.0

Please include the bosh deploy... command, including all the operations files (plus any experimental operation files you're using):

Is there anything else unique or special about your setup?

No.

Tag your pair, your PM, and/or team!

It's helpful to tag a few other folks on your team or your team alias in case we need to follow up later.

We've recently increased the NATs VM size, see #1196.
On which infrastructure are you trying to deploy? Are you using bosh-bootloader?

The cloud-config examples in https://github.com/cloudfoundry/cf-deployment/tree/main/iaas-support are indeed not up-to date. We'll plan a story to include the new "medium" type. With bosh-bootloader, you should have the "medium" type on all infrastructures.

Best Regards,

Jochen.

Sorry, I figured that the infrastructure was immaterial. I'm developing a new CPI for LXD. After not finding the medium VM size, I noticed the release indicating medium was v43, so I just dropped down to the latest of v42. Deployment worked fine, so that was my immediate goal.

It will be appreciated once the medium size gets documented.

Thanks!
