If I wanted to create a microvm with 4G RAM and 2CPU or 4G RAM and 8CPU would that work? Or is it currently only possible to create 1:1 vms?

Also wanted to note, that I came to this question by reading the website explanation on the benefits of microvms, to me it seems to heavily favor the operator vs the customer by touting the oversubscription capabilities. This feels like something that should not be presented front and center to prospective customers?

With lack of nested virtualization and compatibility with qemu cloud images I also wonder how much benefit is really there for microvms. The fast boot time feels like the only benefit, but how much faster than qemu when you add on API overhead. Offering both hypervisors and have the customer choose could be interesting.

Congrats on the launch and thanks for sharing!
