For my business I have one that’s only used as a proxy (dumb IP whitelisting by API provider), another running headless Chrome (scraper for services without API), and another as a VPN. I always feel so wasteful but the majority of these can’t be combined into one server for reasons beyond my control.
For everything else, I containerize. I feel that that is much more energy efficient though I could be wrong.
That’s a good question!
I have one running an adblocking DNS resolver.
