Thanks Cirrus for the response.
If 1SLOT is not upgradable then what is the purpose of it?

As mentioned in article, bydefault its not upgradable but if we expand the disk size we can upgrade it. Is that correct?

One of the ways to work in cloud environments is by just removing the old and spinning up a new environment when you make a change. So in that case it is easier to have a small / quick image.

For an upgrade you just delete the old, spin up a new one a reapply the config which is done with automation most likely.

I would say the _1SLOT is for specific cases, if you are unsure use the normal one.
