+'''VCPU year:''' same as CPU year, but for cloud.
+'''VGPU year:''' same as GPU year, but for cloud.
 '''Compute instances:''' These are instances that have a limited life-time and typically have constant high-CPU requirements for the instances life-time. They have also been referred to as ‘batch’ instances. These will be granted higher vCPU/Memory quotas since they are time-limited instances.

-'''Persistent instances:''' These are instances that are meant to run indefinitely (e.g., based on the clouds availability) and would include web servers, database servers, etc. In general, these are thought to be lower CPU or bursty CPU instances. These will have lower vCPU/Memory quotas since they are meant to consume the resources for long periods of time.<br><br>
