Restore a detached volume onto a fresh instance — optionally a new type. Pass a different instance_type to move the same machine to different hardware: this is the closest thing to changing instance type that the provider allows, since it has no resize API at all. The restore runs at first boot and the machine reboots into itself, so the instance answers SSH BEFORE it is ready. Poll get_compute_volume and give it a few minutes (measured: ~6 min for a 10 GB GPU machine end to end). The machine keeps its SSH host keys, so your client will not warn about a changed host identity. Requires: API key with write scope. Args: volume_id: A volume in state "detached" ssh_public_key: Required — installed via cloud-init at boot instance_type: Defaults to the type it last ran on root_disk_size: GB. May grow, never shrink below the volume's size. Returns: Volume dict with state "attached" and a new instance. Errors: CONFLICT: Volume is not detached, or has no snapshot yet
