Capacity Units determine the size of the platform and is a provisioned (always on) set of resources that is needed to keep the Azure Purview platform up and running. 1 Capacity Unit is able to support approximately 25 data map operations per second and includes up to 10GB of metadata storage about data assets.
Capacity Units are required regardless of whether you plan to invoke the Azure Purview API endpoints directly (i.e. ISV scenario) or indirectly via Purview Studio (GUI).
Note: With the introduction of the Elastic Data Map, you no longer need to specify how many Capacity Units that you need. Azure Purview will scale capacity elastically based on the request load.
vCore Hours on the other hand, is the unit of measure for serverless compute that is needed to run a scan. You only pay per vCore Hour of scanning that you consume (rounded up to the nearest minute).
