Error handling: prepare for the unknown

How to handle errors and exceptions in the CGC SDK (SDKException) and solve common issues such as installation and import problems.

Always wrap resource operations in try-except blocks:

import cgc.sdk.resource as resource
import cgc.sdk.exceptions as exceptions

try:
    response = resource.resource_create(
        name="my-app",
        image_name="nginx:latest",
        cpu=2,
        memory=4
    )
    
    if response['code'] == 200:
        print("Success!")
    else:
        print(f"Failed: {response.get('reason')}")
        
except exceptions.SDKException as e:
    print(f"SDK Error (code {e.code}): {e}")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Unexpected error: {e}")
