DLT Core Compute with Photon (DLT Core Compute Photon)
Compute with Photon enabled bills under a separate DLT Core Compute Photon meter (Azure: Core Compute Photon Delta Live Tables). Its list price per DBU is the same as DLT Core Compute at all 54 price points where both are listed, on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud. Photon clusters use more DBUs per hour than the same instance without Photon, so the same rate does not mean the same bill: the Photon break-even calculator uses each instance's Photon DBU rate.
