Not that long ago, I provisioned a VM for myself and started doing some development there. I wanted to compile a fairly large project, so I stopped the VM, changed it to a much larger instance (32 CPUs, 128 GB memory) and ran make -j32. The build finished ten or fifteen minutes later, and I swapped it back out for a smaller instance. It’s nice.
