Properly coordinated with all the cloud the providers, they could create
flavours which are private but available to our tenants, where a 25-50%
more RAM would be just enough.

I agree that should probably be a last resort tool, and we should keep
looking for proper ways to find where we consume unnecessary RAM and make
sure that's properly freed up.

It could be interesting to coordinate such flavour creation in the mean
time, even if we don't use it now, we could eventually test it or put it to
work if we find trapped anytime later.
