The way that cloud scaling works is that as you increase RAM you also increase CPU, which costs a fortune. You can go for 'memory optimized' instances but even still, there are costs associated with memory that aren't just the RAM modules, unfortunately. Plus with container orchestration it's increasingly important to pack your services into a single instance, and memory can veryyyy quickly become the constraint - in fact, it might be the one I've seen most often.
