Kind references not resolving properly #1771

Closed steiler closed 9 months ago

steiler commented 9 months ago

We have kind aliases, such that srl == nokia_srlinux etc.

It should be possible to define the following topology:

topology:
  kinds:
    srl:
      type: ixrd3
  nodes:
    n1:
      kind: nokia_srlinux
      image: ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:23.10.1

Notice the kinds definition referes srl whilst the node itself referes to nokia_srlinux. This will not apply the type attribute to the n1 node. I think some form of resolution should take place and these config parts should be merged.

Not needed imho. Mixing different kind naming schemes should be discouraged
