add the possibility to assign resoruces to the cEdges to add.

[peterm2109]

Problem Statement

it's impossible to assign more resources to the cEdges on the SD-WAN network.
When we want to test features such as DRE optimization we need 16 GB of RAM, 16 CPUs, and 150 GB of disk size. This cannot be done with the resources assigned by default

Proposed Solution

an option to assign those resources when adding the cEdges could be a very good improvement to the code

Alternatives Considered

@peterm2109 the changes are included in this branch: https://github.com/cisco-open/sdwan-lab-deployment-tool/tree/add_task_cpu_ram

Could you please create new venv, install and test?
pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/cisco-open/sdwan-lab-deployment-tool.git@add_task_cpu_ram

@peterm2109 could you please try again now?

[peterm2109]

It's working @tzarski0 ... the edges are successfully added with the right CPUs and RAM.
Isn't there a possibility of adding disk size too?

[tzarski0]

There are more changes that I need to do for disk size to work. I assume this should be a boot disk size, not a data disk size?

[tzarski0]

I've discussed it with the team and there is no easy way to increase flash space on IOS-XE. Modifying CML boot or data disk size is not modifying the flash inside the C8000V router. There are two options:

1. Download the qcow image with 16G of flash from Cisco software.
2. If more than 16GB is required, you will need to build a custom qcow image and upload it using csdwan setup

I see... yeah... that's a problem... to test DRE optimization is mandatory to have a disk size of 150 GB at least, otherwise it won't work 😓.
