Ahahaha! I laughed so hard at this because at work I regularly say something like, "why do we have a 32GB VM assigned to this system which runs a microservice that would run just as fast and reliably if we used Raspberry Pi instead?"

The amount of waste in big enterprises is unreal! The reason why we use a 32GB instance is because that's the minimum we're allowed to order for the reliability category of the app!
