+The partial config can be provided as a [local file](../manual/kinds/vr-sros.md#partial-startup-config), [remote URL](../manual/kinds/vr-sros.md#remote-partial-files) or even [embedded](../manual/kinds/vr-sros.md#embedded-partial-files), yay!

+## Embedded startup-configs
+
+The changes made for allowing SR OS to have partial configs also allowed all other nodes to enjoy embedding startup-configs into the topology file.
+
+For example, this is a perfectly valid way to provide partial config for a Nokia SR Linux node:
+
+```yaml
+name: srl
+
+topology:
+  nodes:
+    srl:
+      kind: nokia_srlinux
+      image: ghcr.io/nokia/srlinux:22.11.2
+      startup-config: |
+        system information location "I am embedded config"
+```

 ## Node filtering
 
 One of the most requested features is finally there. Users wanted to be able to deploy only a subset of nodes defined in their topology file. Usually, this was driven by the need to control the resource usage of the lab and optimize the deployment time.

+## CPU and Memory setting for SR OS nodes
+
+With [hellt/vrnetlab](https://github.com/hellt/vrnetlab/releases/tag/v0.10.1) release v0.10.1 we support setting the CPU and Memory for SR OS nodes.
+
+Before that feature was available, the CPU and Memory were set to the default values for a particular SR OS variant. This was not ideal as requirements change over time and when resources are underprovisioned, the node may not be able to start.
+
+Now you can set the CPU and Memory for SR OS nodes directly in the topology file:
+
+```yaml
+# distrubuted node
+    sr:
+      kind: vr-sros
+      type: sr-1e
+      license: sros22.lic
+      env:
+        CP_MEMORY: 6 # CPM MEM
+        CP_CPU: 4    # CPM CPU
+        LC_MEMORY: 6 # Line card MEM
+        LC_CPU: 4    # Line card CPU
+
+# integrated
+    sr:
+      kind: vr-sros
+      type: sr-1
+      license: sros22.lic
+      env:
+        MEMORY: 6
+        CPU: 4

 ## RARE joins Containerlab
 
 We are happy to announce that [RARE](../manual/kinds/rare-freertr.md) Network OS is now supported by Containerlab. RARE stands for Router for Academia, Research & Education.
