        Support the following size smaller than 1x.extra-small in LOKI.

                                                   1x.new-spec
         Data transfer                             100GB/day
         Queries per second (QPS)                  1-25 QPS at 200ms 
         Replication factor                        2
         Total CPU requests                        5 vCPUs
         Total CPU requests if using the ruler     5.5 vCPUs
         Total memory requests                     20Gi
         Total memory requests if using the ruler  21Gi
         Total disk requests                       430Gi
         Total disk requests if using the ruler    450Gi

      Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements)

        Loki's current resource (CPU/Memory) requirement is too big even with extra-small.spec[1].
        It prevents existing customers from migrating their EFK to the Loki/Vector stack.
        We could lose many customers if we cannot support a less resource-intensive environment.

        Loki itself is a product that was designed to reduce resource consumption compared with EFK or other logging products.
        So it's weird why Red Hat's Loki requires more resources than EFK.
        Because Red Hat had already announced the removal of EFK[2], there is not much time to wait.

      List any affected packages or components.
