As a project manager, i want to set default compute types for processing nodes at deploy time, so that i can predict costs for the system (Static)

This epic was actually implemented by U-CS. The EC2 type for Verdi workers is specified as one of the parameters when creating the ELS cluster, part of the metadata. For example:

{"clustername":"luca-eks-dev","owner":"luca","projectname":"unity","nodegroups":{"group1":{"instancetype":"m5.xlarge","nodecount":"1"}}}

@LucaCinquini, that instance type is used for creating the default node group. As part of the SPS deployment, we create a separate node group for the Verdi instances, the instance types for this new node group are specified at deployment time.

Thanks Drew - can you point me to the location in the Terraform file?
