\[
\text{cloud_instance}_\text{manufacture}^\text{criteria} = \frac{\text{server}_
\text{manufacture}^\text{criteria}}{\text{instances_per_server}}
\]
Components configuration are never sent by the user but pre-recorded as an archetype.
Usage impact
Usage impact of cloud instance are measured only from its consumption profile.
As for manufacture, usage impact for a physical server are divided into the number of instances hosted by the server.
