Definition
Cloud Platform Product Guide s.2.3: "Cloud Capacity Units are calculated by Acquia based on CPU utilization, memory utilization, and data transfer within and between Cloud Platform infrastructure layers."
Counting rules
Cloud Platform Enterprise guide: every 4 GB of RAM on dedicated servers is 1 CCU and every 2 CPU cores on dedicated servers is 1 CCU. Each Views tier carries a CCU limit and a bandwidth limit (for example 18 CCU and 2 TB at 1,000,000 Views). Cloud Classic applications use CCU limits 1.8 times the Cloud Next values. Performance Boost add-ons add CCUs.
Floors / minimums
Where an Order Form signed after 2023-01-01 does not state a CCU limit, the limit is assumed to be 100 CCU.
