What benefits do I get from Cloud Capacity Units?

Once Cloud Capacity Units become the primary resource tracking metric for a subscription, they will provide a number of benefits to Cloud Platform subscribers.

• CCUs eliminate the need for subscribers with server-based pricing to choose CPU-optimized or memory-optimized infrastructure, as the platform will allocate either CPU or Memory to applications as needed and track utilization as a single metric.
• CCUs on Cloud Next environments are tracked per-environment, providing more granular utilization data than current per-server metrics. For Cloud Platform environments that have not yet been upgraded to Cloud Next, however, they will continue to be tracked per-server.
• CCUs provide more granular data per-service than server-based metrics. As new technologies are released on Cloud Platform, subscribers will gain insights into utilization from the following isolated services: load balancing, PHP, SSH, cron, Cloud hooks, file system, and database.
