The "Try the Demo!" button now deploys the demo image published from datum-labs/compute-network-demo. That image is a plain linux/amd64 container with no kraftcloud variant, so on the unikernel class the instance never started and reported ImageUnavailable. The general-purpose class runs each instance in a Kata VM and accepts standard Linux container images unmodified. Starts are a few seconds slower and cost more per instance than the unikernel path. The image floats on the :main tag so new demo builds reach the button without a portal change. Existing demo workloads keep the class they were created with. The confirm copy now names the us-central-1 location rather than the DFW city code.

Staging check on 2026-09-25: a demo deployed from this branch reached Available on the general-purpose runtime, with its network service healthy and its HTTP proxy programmed. The public URL still returned a 503 connection timeout from the edge, which looks unrelated to this change and is being chased separately. |

Summary
The portal's demo image from datum-labs/compute-network-demo is a standard Linux container, so on the unikernel runtime the instance never starts and reports that its image could not be pulled.
The demo now runs on the general-purpose runtime, which boots standard container images in a lightweight VM.
It also tracks the image's main tag, so new demo builds reach the portal without a code change. Existing demo workloads keep their runtime.
