Hi all

I'm have few cluster of few machine on AWS, and for now, I have to use m4.large to make it run with Kibana (and x-pack), and t2.medium is enough without Kibana.  
Apparently, Amazon can run it on micro instance...  
How they do it?  
How can I start on smaller machine, so I don't kill my budget when running instances on dev and staging?

Thx

Right, but what is the performance like?

When I'm trying to install, and do basic tests on dev, I don't really care about perf (even if it's slow to install).  
On real test environment and prod, I'm using real instance, but testing a lot with medium or large is expensive
