Note: Starting from Cloud Infrastructure Automation 17.13, you can use both ways to configure Plesk in VPS service plans – with or without composite resources. But we strongly recommend to use the new approach to configuring plans without composite resources. In this guide we consider only the new approach. If you need information about the previously existed approach with composite resources, refer to the Cloud Infrastructure Provider's Guide 17.12.
