It's rather common for managers to want simple, human-readable reports for information which is already exposed through a REST API.

Setting up a container with a cronjob that, once per day, executes a simple shell script which curls a REST endpoint, parses the relevant information, and sends an email out to a pre-defined mailing list or puts it to a slack channel... Yeah, that's pretty simple to pull off within that memory footprint.
