This sounds great, except for one thing: you can scale your compute (CPU & RAM) as needed but your storage appears to scale with it.

So, if I use a "16 vCPUs, 32GB RAM, 400GB SSD" machine for a period of intense compute, and then want to scale that down to "2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM", most of my storage disappears?

That rather ruins the potential of the advertised scalability.

The scalability is in the number of instances: create, duplicate and destroy down to zero. Each instance size is fixed.
