Compute units are a measure of computing throughput for your instance with pre-configured amount of RAM. We do not count hyperthreads as core. So 100 compute units is 1 core, 200 compute units is 2 cores, etc. /works at Microsoft and managed PostgreSQL service /

Does it say what the pre-configured amount of RAM is?

Also, does it talk about what level of admin rights I can get to these machines?

Using 'DTUs' for SQL Database and both 'Compute Units' and IOPS for PostgreSQL & MySQL makes it rather difficult to compare the services.

Any advice on how to compare performance for a given price?

Thanks. Apparently I completely missed that in the FAQ.
