vdb6 full database creation requires 32GB machine

Creating the full database including OS vulnerabilities currently requires a 32GB machine. We're relying on a self-hosted agent to create this database currently, but will be nice to get it working on a GitHub hosted agent at some point.

It is crashing during the index creation due to the DB size (> 7.5 GB)

This is creating some DevOps work for us. We have a couple of Mac Minis (M4) with 64GB RAM each. The plan was to create three 16GB VMs, each running a mix of macOS and Linux ARM64. However, the VDB job frequently kills the Linux ARM64 Lima instances during peak memory usage.
