Why this sizing

This sizing supports a large Jira Data Center deployment, accommodating 600,000 to 2,000,000 issues or 10,000 to 100,000 users, by provisioning two D8s_v5 nodes and one D4s_v5 node. Compute instances are the sole cost driver at $700.80 monthly, as storage and other costs are not present in this on-demand, non-HA configuration. The absence of high availability means this setup lacks redundancy, which is a significant tradeoff for a large-scale production system.
