CPU and memory optimised machines

Feature Request

Currently all our machines are evenly balanced between CPU or RAM (or some of them have double the RAM than vCPU).

We could add a set of CPU-optimized machines (e.g. 1vCPU + 0.25GB RAM) and memory optimized machines (e.g. 0.25vCPU + 1GB RAM).

What do people think? What combos would be useful?

    I’m doing cpu constrained statistical optimizations (not multithreadable). Hoping you guys enable the ‘c8’ aws instances or equivalent! :)

    I recently encountered a task that required significant RAM for syncing with an external service and processing a large amount of data, but the CPU demand was minimal. To avoid OOM kills, I had to upgrade to a large 2x instance, which provided far more CPU capacity (8 vCPUs) than I actually needed. Introducing specialized instance presets, such as cpu-1x, cpu-2x, ram-1x, and ram-2x, with a focus on either CPU or RAM, could be a great solution for such use cases. What do others think about this idea?
