Resource Override Support for Snapshot-Based Sandboxes

[yomnahisham]

We are requesting the ability to override CPU, memory, disk, and GPU resources when creating sandboxes from snapshots using CreateSandboxFromSnapshotParams. Currently, resource overrides are only supported for image-based sandboxes via CreateSandboxFromImageParams, which creates a significant limitation for users who need to use pre-built snapshots while still having granular control over resource allocation.

The Daytona SDK currently supports resource allocation in two different ways:

1. CreateSandboxFromImageParams - Supports resource overrides via the Resources object, but requires pulling Docker images from registries
2. CreateSandboxFromSnapshotParams - Uses pre-built snapshots (no registry access needed), but does not support resource overrides

This creates a problematic trade-off: users must choose between reliable snapshot-based sandboxes (which don't require registry authentication) and resource control (which requires image-based sandboxes).

I examined both sandbox creation parameter classes:

# CreateSandboxFromImageParams - SUPPORTS resources
from daytona import CreateSandboxFromImageParams
help(CreateSandboxFromImageParams)
# Shows: resources (Optional[Resources]): Resource configuration for the Sandbox

# CreateSandboxFromSnapshotParams - DOES NOT support resources  
from daytona import CreateSandboxFromSnapshotParams
help(CreateSandboxFromSnapshotParams)
# Shows: No resources parameter available

I also checked the base class CreateSandboxBaseParams to confirm that resource support is not inherited:

from daytona import CreateSandboxBaseParams
help(CreateSandboxBaseParams)
# Shows: No resources parameter in base class

I examined the Sandbox class to understand what resource information is available after creation:

from daytona import Sandbox
help(Sandbox)
# Shows attributes: cpu, memory, disk, gpu
# But no methods to modify these after creation

We request adding resource override support to CreateSandboxFromSnapshotParams by:

• Adding a resources parameter to CreateSandboxFromSnapshotParams with the same type as CreateSandboxFromImageParams
• Implementing the resource allocation logic in the backend to apply the specified resources when creating sandboxes from snapshots
• Maintaining backward compatibility - the resources parameter should be optional with the same default behavior as currently exists
