Why would you provision a 64GB machine if you only need less than 1% of that?
Especially given earlier:

This already was over-scaled.
- jerf 7y agoThere aren't any cloud instances of anything with 32 cores but only 4 GB of RAM. I've got some similarly lopsided systems, because I don't need the RAM. Even if you physically deploy them, that would be a silly loadout. Take the bit of insurance out and stick some RAM in it. The cloud providers don't offer these instances because if you run the numbers they don't really make sense.
