What is an optimal minimum or recommended hardware (mostly cores-ram) for an orleans silo? for applications having CPU tasks and IO tasks and with which criteria orleans decides to scale, adding more nodes in the cloud?

We recommend at least 4 core machines, 8 cores is even before. In terms on memory it mostly depends on your application usage. Orleans itself is pretty modest with its internal memory usage. The general guidelines is to prefer fewer larger machines over more smaller machines.
Orleans does not automatically add new nodes. Thus should be done outside Orleans, via the mechanisns provided by the Cloud provider. Once new nodes are added, Orleans will automatically join them to Orleans cluster and will start utilizing them.
