Why this sizing
This Extra Small YugabyteDB deployment is designed for light production YSQL or YCQL workloads, utilizing three `Standard_D8s_v5` instances, each with 8 vCPUs, 32 GB RAM, and 1 TB SSD. Compute is the dominant cost driver, accounting for 70% of the total monthly cost at $841. The architecture prioritizes a compact, replicated setup over high availability, as indicated by the disabled HA setting, which reduces complexity but sacrifices fault tolerance. The 1 TB SSD per node provides ample local storage for data and operational overhead.
