It's worth pointing out that nested virtualization is a thing these 
days, and some providers might even support it!  That means you could 
buy one large instance and sub-divide it yourself into multiple VMs if 
you want to.

In practice, unless you need that flexibility to dynamically spin the 
VMs up and down with various specs AND don't want to or cannot use a 
provider's API for that, I'm not sure why you'd want to if you didn't 
have to for some crazy reason.
