So maybe the question we should ask ourselves is: why isn’t there a smaller, cheaper EC2 instance (or any other provider than AWS) ?

This industry is tailoring the levels. Of course it’s understandable because, well, they live on it. And they count on small instances to share hardware ressources to overbook said hardware.

And I don’t blame them for that, I’m doing the same on my own bare metal servers, hosting multiple websites for clients and making money on it.

But I have the feeling that there is a lot of ressource loss somewhere in it, just for the sake of loosing it because it’s easier. Maybe I’m wrong.
