Description
The number of bare-metal machines (only one) seems insufficient to run the benchmark task on time. Most of the benchmark tasks are waiting for the machine in this PR for more than 8 hours.
Regarding the machine size, we don't need 64 CPUs to run the benchmark. A 4 CPU machine is good enough for the benchmark of https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-go.
If reducing the machine size (if available) could enable more bare-metal machines, it would be a good trade-off.
