Automated resource management for CP4D via API and YAML (or equivalent) – for users, groups, projects entities

As the user numbers on the on prem CP4D and wx.ai clusters are scaling the client wants to be able to limit resources for the developers in an automated way via APIs defined by YAML or similar.

Limiting resources is available as of today in a supported way only via UI. https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/5.0.x?topic=2-monitoring-platform#platform_management__title__8

This is not feasible for the number of projects the client has, so they want to automate this limitations.
TEL found and basically tested an undocumented API endpoint /zen-watchdog/v3/ressources which was quite successful.
So their ask is to put this endpoint/s into the list of available APIs to secure the efforts of automation:
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/5.1.x?topic=tutorials-available-apis
and document the same way available APIs are handled like e.g.:
https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/data-ai-common-core-cpd/data-ai-common-core-cpd-5.1.0

See attached file for what TEL has found so far as available but yet undocumented and unsupported APIs for resource management.

See CSM github https://github.ibm.com/customer-success-management/watsonx/issues/242 for further information.
