[BUG] `cntb create instance` (even without any argument) launches new VPS in Germany and Contabo charges me 10.50euro. #41

# cntb version
cntb v1.4.12

Even this statement, not properly set command cntb create instance launches new VPS in Germany and Contabo charges 10.50 euro right away. How come does it go through Contabo without instance size, type, etc and they charge money?? I got unordered charges twice today.

Basically this just orders an instance with the default configuration to make it easy to buy quickly an instance. We will update the documentation to make sure that this is also noted in the docs.

Event without --force or -f or --with-default option? Such a poor design!! Most of well suited sysadmin can set shell alias for that kind of feature. One command to launch their flavored instance. If you really want to provide one command for autoscaling(also Contabo infrastructure charges by month with contract. So Autoscaling is not for Contabo), you'd better provide the different command or config file option that defines region, size, etc.

Just launch the smallest VM in some undefined(EU) region is not a feature but just SCAM. Also who said they want Ubuntu also without cloud-init configs???

Contabo launched my unordered 2 VMs and charged twice on my credit card. Also my vm does cntb reinstall not working anymore - basically it stuck with "installing" statues.

Contacted Contabo support (both phone and online ticket) 18 hours ago and no one responded.
