Why this sizing

This Extra Small InfluxDB Enterprise deployment on Azure supports up to 100,000 writes per second and under 1 million series. The primary cost driver is compute, accounting for $491 of the $749 monthly total. This configuration uses smaller D2s_v5 instances for metadata and larger D4s_v5 instances for data storage, reflecting a balance between processing and storage needs at this entry-level scale. The disabled high availability means this setup is not resilient to single-node failures.
