Why this sizing

VictoriaMetrics at the extra small tier maps to the single-node reference architecture on Azure in eastus. Compute is the largest line item in this estimate, accounting for 56% of monthly cost. High availability is not included here, so this baseline stays lean and leaves failover headroom out of the monthly total. Single Node carries the heaviest storage footprint at 2 TB.
