Convert numerics to strings with units #59

Open Zarquan opened 5 months ago

Systems like Kubernetes allow the user to specify some numeric values as a string value with units. e.g. 2GiB, 200m cores etc

We should follow this for many of our basic resource min and max values.

An extension of this could add a regex in the schema definition for each field.

Experiment with this in CIRASA-planner

I was going to suggest this: size: 1024 for storage is a bit vague (follow the same rules as k8s? I admit sometimes all the different units/ways k8s allows you to specify things makes it hard to check how it's going to be interpreted, so maybe be more restrictive)?
