Common Label in example topologies

[steiler]

I propose using a more general label in the example topologies.
Right now we are using:

  kind_defaults:
    srl:
      image: srlinux:20.6.1-286

I propose to change this to either ´srlinux:latest´... or srlinux:containerlab, which would decouple the config from the actual GA release.

good suggestion, I will use :latest in the examples I create in #96

[steiler]

We should then extend the doc, such that the tag is to be set on setup, since on image import just the specific version tag is available.

docker tag srlinux:<VERSION-TAG> srlinux:latest

@steiler I have added the note and fixed the templates in 18b81c8

What do you think?

[steiler]

Yes, that looks good to me.
We should do the same with the already existing topologies in the lab-examples folder. Would you please incorporate that as part of your commit?

[hellt]

my goal is to discontinue the old lab examples as part of that PR. Which examples you are using from the old selection?

Opportunistically I've been simply utilising the wan-topo.
But I don't have strong feelings about that. Lets get rid of it.

[hellt]

but its interesting to see what features of wan-topo I need to replicate
I see that wan-topo had some lags between nodes, that was the idea, @henderiw?

Ideally I would like to know if we think about SRL in WAN today, what is the minimum viable topology would be useful to have? I can reuse wan-topo example, but now would be a good time to ask for changes in that topo

ADD1: so since the enhancement has been implemented I close this one, we can discuss the wan-topo another time
