4 Things to Know About 64GB RAM for Containers

32GB is enough for most setups Twenty typical containers like web servers, databases, and tools will run fine on 32GB. Most containers use only a few hundred MB each.

Heavy workloads justify 64GB Multiple heavy databases, JVM applications, or AI models can push past 32GB. If you see swap usage or OOM kills, then upgrade.

Light use makes 64GB wasteful Running Plex, a few Node apps, and some databases will leave 64GB mostly idle. You will wonder why you spent the extra money.

Only upgrade if you know you need it The only good reason to go to 64GB is if you have a specific workload that demands it. Otherwise, stick with 32GB.
