Why this sizing

This Extra Small tier provides a starter self-hosted control plane for smaller Teleport estates, utilizing a single `Standard_D8s_v5` instance for the primary control plane and a `Standard_D4s_v5` for auxiliary services. Compute is the dominant cost driver, accounting for over 95% of the $438.48 monthly total. This configuration prioritizes cost efficiency for initial deployments by disabling high availability, which means a single point of failure exists for the control plane.
