Description

The following table describes the differences between various Sitecore XP environments for the Sitecore Managed Cloud service, as well as related Azure components.

Customers can purchase these configurations under both Production and Non-Production SLAs.

Note: Tiers and topologies are subject to availability. Check the Sitecore Managed Cloud Standard – compatibility tables for the currently supported tiers for provisioning new Sitecore Managed Cloud Standard sets, as well as for the Microsoft Azure data center compatibility information. The environment tiers are designed in accordance with Sitecore XP ARM templates with additional changes and clarifications required to deliver Managed Cloud-specific service level agreements.

The number of visits supported by each tier has been changed in version 10.x of XM/XP to better align with the subscription visit counts.
