Description

We have upgarded our VM's to improve build reliability and speed.
We should add a few VM's to our CI pool that run tests on smaller VM's that represent users building on small dev boxes / laptops...

We should use our telemetry to figure out a reasonalbe base spec (i.e. 4 core CPU, 8Gb Ram, 128 Gb SSD?)
Create a pool with that Sku and run a bunch of CLI tests on that spec.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing CI pool configuration and CLI test jobs, then identify the telemetry needed to choose a representative low-power VM specification. Done means a low-power VM pool is defined and a set of CLI tests runs on it.
