Instance configuration

The Usage example creates a sliced Instance. Accelerator Requests explains how spec.resources maps to the accelerator resource families.

The workload container owns the accelerator request. The optional SSH sidecar uses a separate visibility resource to enter the same workspace without acquiring a second accelerator. See Device Discovery . Instance Metrics explains the reported utilization.
