Cloud Platform Professional is a self-service platform, while Cloud Platform Enterprise is fully managed by Acquia. Here are some examples of tasks that Acquia performs for Cloud Platform Enterprise customers, which Cloud Platform Professional customers must manage for themselves:
Since you manage several of your own infrastructure settings on Cloud Platform Professional, there is the risk that improper use of these settings can lead to infrastructure instability or poor application performance.
If you have a Cloud Platform Professional subscription you want to upgrade to Cloud Platform Enterprise, contact [email protected].
Cloud Platform Enterprise supports customized infrastructure and integration, with customized reverse proxy, infrastructure, caching, and database sizes. For example, some Cloud Platform Enterprise applications may require comparatively more database resources, while others may require comparatively more or larger infrastructure. Cloud Platform Enterprise supports custom integrations for use cases like single sign-on or integration with other enterprise systems.
