Why this sizing

This Extra Small YugabyteDB deployment, consisting of three m6i.2xlarge instances, is designed for light production YSQL or YCQL workloads. Compute accounts for 78% of the monthly cost at $841, making it the dominant cost driver. This configuration provides 24 vCPUs and 96 GB RAM across the cluster, but disabling high availability means there is no redundancy for fault tolerance.
