BOSH CLI install to Standard_A0 instance hangs at "Compiling package 'ruby_azure_cpi'"

[cunnie]

BOSH CLI can't install to Standard A0 instance — it exhausts memory and swap while compiling the CPI.

I don't believe that there's an easy fix — I think the short-term answer might be to add a note to http://bosh.io/docs/init-azure.html to say, "Instance size must have 1.75GiB RAM or greater (do not use Standard_A0) for install to complete successfully."
