**KVM**

Instances running on the KVM hypervisor with UEFI Secure Boot have disk controllers automatically enforced:
181+
182+
- Windows OS instances use SATA
183+
- Non-Windows OS instances use VirtIO
184+
185+
Starting with 4.20.3 and later, this behavior can be overridden by setting the following template or instance detail:
186+
187+
``skip.force.disk.controller = true``
188+
189+
When set, disk controller enforcement is skipped and the controllers defined by template/instance details are used.
