- The default combined deployment uses an ARM64 t4g.small with separate encrypted 20 GiB gp3 volumes.
Field notes
MonVM separates the convenience of a combined deployment from a documented path to independent metrics and logs VMs, without moving data or changing service IPv6 addresses. The services remain loopback-only behind Envoy TLS 1.3, with client certificates issued from a CA stored in S3. The project also exposes operational escape hatches: teardown retains network and data resources, while destroy removes everything.
