The storage is 'flexible', but it doesn't shrink. This means that if you
have a 80GB disk, with only 20GB filled, it will use 20GB on the VM server.
If you then fill the disk, it will use 80GB on the VM server. However, if
you now delete 60GB of data, it will *still* use 80GB on the VM server.
Andrew pointed out in an earlier email that it's possible to reclaim the
space by shutting down the instance and compressing it, or by creating a
new instance.
