Après avoir relu le reste, je pense qu'il faudrait étoffer un peu l'introduction pour présenter immédiatement le fait qu'on a deux routes API, quelque chose comme ça :

OVHcloud is constantly evolving and must adapt its offerings to the increasingly resilient and regulated cloud market. In order to meet those new challenges, a new API route was created to start OS installation tasks on bare metal servers. This new /reinstall [add a link to the console or something here] call does not support personal templates for dedicated servers OS installation.
The OVHcloud control panel also relies on this new route and therefore no longer supports personal templates either.
Personal templates will be fully decommissioned on the 7th of October 2025.

Until then, the older /install/start [add a link there too] API call may still be used to start OS installations with a personal template. However, please note that this route, will eventually be deprecated in favor of /reinstall at a later date.

In your case, the end of the personal templates feature should simplify OS installation on dedicated servers. Indeed, the new API call [POST /dedicated/server/{serviceName}/reinstall](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=%2Fdedicated%2Fserver&branch=v1#post-/dedicated/server/-serviceName-/reinstall) brings all the possible customizations that the old API call [POST /dedicated/server/{serviceName}/install/start](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=%2Fdedicated%2Fserver&branch=v1#post-/dedicated/server/-serviceName-/install/start) was not able to offer without the need to first define a personal template under [/me/installationTemplate](https://eu.api.ovh.com/console/?section=%2Fme&branch=v1#get-/me/installationTemplate).

S'il reste des "service", je les remplacerais tous par "features", j'ai pu en oublier.
