When your architecture includes more than one web(web-xx)/dedicated(ded-xx) servers, the cron jobs run on the lowest number server. For example, if you have 2 servers -

web-998875  
web-999876

\- the cron jobs will run on the server with the lower number: web-998875.

You can check the server names per environment in the [**Servers**](/node/56292) page on the [Cloud UI](https://cloud.acquia.com).
