In one line
Distributed Processing Units for read, write and query work, plus a per GB-month charge for storage.
What gets missed
No instance to size and no idle charge, but a multi-Region cluster doubles the DPUs on every write, and the replica charge lands in the Region that originated it rather than the peer. CDC streaming adds DPUs again.
