Performance CPU with less memory

Is there any way to use performance CPU with less memory? right now the smaller is 2gb, i do not understand this limitation.
My app is highly CPU bound and using performance-1x is more cost efficient than shared-8x because of the CPU limitations.
It would be great to to use 1-8 performance and 512mb ram

I remember it being said here that one has to conform to the available machine RAM/CPU mixes. I think requesting a non-existent mix is an error, and the machine will fail to start.

I can understand the need though, I agree it would be nice to have some more flexibility. I’d be intrigued to see if I could get a machine working with less than 256MB of RAM!

I should think the limitation is intended to simplify the “bin packing problem” of creating machines across a fleet of hosts. The fewer combinations that are permitted, the easier it is to manage and predict demand.
