Can we get smaller VM hosts? I’ve seen some minimums at 512MB for a host. I need 8MB at most sometimes. Update: Fourplex (this host) uses a 1GB minimum.

- kube-system 8mo agoWhat's the use case for a VM with 8MB memory?
- ianseyler 8mo agoA simple web server with some static content to server.

- lachiflippi 8mo agoRunning modern full-fat Linux on anything sub-512MB isn't a great experience unless you're willing to do a lot of tweaking, or running specialized distros like alpine. If dropping the whole "vm" thing is an option, you can go much lower -- I've been running perfectly usable alpine lxc system containers on as low as 32MB -- though container-based vps kind of fell out of favor in the last couple years, probably due to the issues that come with not having your "own" kernel in "your" vps. Virtuozzo/openvz was everywhere back then, now it's pretty much all kvm/vmware/hyperv.
