Why this sizing

This Extra Small tier supports up to 100 GB of hot index data on a single Elasticsearch OSS node, suitable for basic development or testing. The primary cost driver is compute, accounting for over 75% of the total monthly cost. This single-node configuration lacks high availability, meaning any node failure will result in downtime for the Elasticsearch instance.
