So is a "compute unit" the same as the "Azure Compute Units" that are used to measure VMs? 800 ACU roughly comes out to 4 cores. At $0.78/hr, that is hardly comparable to the RDS offerings. Didn't see an indication of memory.

Much like SQL Server DTUs and DWUs, the spacebucks measurements only seem to useful for hiding the actual price comparisons.

At least they stopped the DTU/DWU non-sense for these services.

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.
