Implement resource requirement validation for plugins before installation #31

Description

@mrgb7

Problem

Currently, plugins are installed without checking if the cluster has sufficient resources (CPU, memory, disk) to run them. This can lead to:

  • Failed deployments due to insufficient resources
  • Resource contention and performance issues
  • Unclear error messages when installations fail

Proposed Solution

Implement a resource requirement system that:

  1. Define resource requirements per plugin

    • Add resource specifications to plugin metadata (CPU, memory, disk requirements)
    • Include minimum and recommended resource levels
    • Consider both control plane and worker node requirements
  2. Pre-installation validation

    • Check cluster resource availability before plugin installation
    • Compare required resources against available cluster capacity
    • Provide clear warnings/errors if resources are insufficient
  3. Implementation details

    • Add resource requirements to plugin configuration files
    • Create resource validation logic in the installer
    • Integrate with existing plugin installation workflow
    • Provide informative error messages with suggestions

Acceptance Criteria

  • Plugin configurations include resource requirement specifications
  • Installation process validates cluster resources before proceeding
  • Clear error messages when resources are insufficient
  • Optional --force flag to bypass validation if needed
  • Documentation updated with resource requirements for each plugin

Benefits

  • Prevents failed installations due to resource constraints
  • Improves user experience with clear resource feedback
  • Helps users make informed decisions about plugin installations
  • Reduces troubleshooting time for resource-related issues
