It is technically possible to boot an .iso file directly, without flashing it to a disk or device.

Using a virtual machine

The QEMU page shows how an ISO image and .apkovl customizations are booted with a virtual machine. This works very well with Proxmox as well - just attach the ISO and Alpine boots to RAM on startup.

Using an installed Bootloader

grub-imageboot

In addition to standard partitions or drives, the Debian package grub-imageboot allows booting .iso files placed in the /boot/images directory.
