- Unit consumption; Compute Metric: Units
- Definition
- Teradata Cloud documentation: "Teradata Cloud uses a consumption-based model using unit as the compute measurement metric. Units are consumed when Teradata Cloud compute resources are active and available to perform workloads."
- Counting rules
- Consumption per hour = (Total Logical IO TB Used / (Max LIO TB Rate per Instance x No. of Instances)) x Max Unit rate. Per-instance minimum and maximum unit rates are published by instance size (S to 3XL) and package (Teradata Cloud or Teradata Cloud +); for example size S has a Max LIO rate of 8 TB/hour and 2.5 to 10 Units (3 to 12 for Teradata Cloud +). Collector, PDCR and Teradata system-user activity and failed user queries are excluded from the logical I/O count.
- Floors / minimums
- Each instance size has a minimum unit rate per hour (for example 2.5 Units for size S on the Teradata Cloud package). Instance limit 2 to 128.
