+
+Virtual Dedicated Cloud services are offered through prepaid consumption plans.
+Billing is based on usage, with credits deducted from the available balance each month.
+
+== Consumption report
+
+The consumption report, accessible in the Billing section, provides real-time insights into resource usage for the current project, including both running and paused states.
+It displays RAM usage in GB-hours and the equivalent cost in prepaid credits.
+You can also Export a CSV file containing usage in a selected period.
+
+Available to Admins, the consumption report helps track usage patterns over time to make informed resource allocation decisions.
+The usage data is also exportable.
+
+=== Product name and pricing
+
+For more information, refer to link:https://console-preview.neo4j.io/pricing[Aura Pricing] for the specific product names and their prices. 
+If a database is paused, its charge is reduced to 20% of the standard hourly rate.
+
+=== Billing status
+
+Can be `ongoing` (currently being billed) or `ended` (historical usage).
+
+=== Units of measure
+
+Units of measure are displayed in the specified unit of measure.
+GB-hours usage is calculated by multiplying the number of hours a database is running (whether actively used or not) by the memory size in gigabytes (GB).
+
+== Filters
+
+* Filter the usage data by predefined and custom date intervals.
+* Look back for a period of up to one year.
+* Filter by `Last 24 hours`, `Last 7 days`, `Last 30 days`, `Last 90 days` or a `Custom range`.

 == Create an instance
 
-The first step is to select the plan that best suits your needs.
+There are two types of Aura instances:
+
+* **AuraDB** (the default Aura instance type)
+* **AuraDS** (the xref:graph-analytics/index.adoc#aura-ds[fully managed version] of Neo4j Graph Data Science)
+
+Select the type of instance using the switch on the top right, then choose the plan that best suits your needs.
 You can upgrade your plan later if your needs change.
 
-Once you've selected a plan, your instance is created.
+You can optionally enable additional features:
+
+* xref:graph-analytics/index.adoc#aura-gds-plugin[Graph Analytics plugin] to add graph analytics capabilities (**AuraDB Professional only**)
+* xref:managing-instances/instance-details.adoc#aura-vector-optimization[Vector optimization] to enhance performance for vector-based operations
+
+After selecting **Next**, your instance is created.
 A password is generated for the instance, ensure to either copy or download it, as it will **not** be recoverable after.
 The password is required to access your instance later.

+= Graph analytics on Aura
+:description: This page describes how to run graph analytics on Aura.
+
+There are two ways to run graph analytics on Aura:
+
+* Create an AuraDB Professional instance with the <<aura-gds-plugin>>, or enable the plugin on an existing AuraDB Professional instance.
+* Create an <<aura-ds, AuraDS instance>>.
+
+[[aura-gds-plugin]]
+== Graph Analytics plugin
+
+label:AuraDB-Professional[]
+
+The Graph Analytics plugin allows you to use the link:https://neo4j.com/docs/graph-data-science/current/introduction/[Graph Data Science library] in any AuraDB Professional instance with the following requirements:
+
+* Neo4j version 5 or later
+* 4 GB of memory or more
+* Any supported cloud providers and regions
+
+You can enable or disable the plugin when necessary.
+
+[[aura-ds]]
+== AuraDS
+
+label:AuraDS-Professional[] label:AuraDS-Enterprise[]
+
+AuraDS is the fully managed version of the link:https://neo4j.com/docs/graph-data-science/current/introduction/[Graph Data Science library].
+
+AuraDS instances have the following features:
+
+* Upgrades and patches are automatically applied.
+* Can be seamlessly scaled up or down.
+* Can be paused to reduce costs.
+
+=== Plans
+
+AuraDS offers the AuraDS Professional and AuraDS Enterprise subscription plans.
+The full list of features for each plan is available on the link:https://neo4j.com/pricing/#graph-data-science[Neo4j Pricing page].
+
+=== Updates and upgrades
+
+AuraDS updates and upgrades are handled by the platform, and as such do not require user intervention.
+Security patches and new versions of GDS and Neo4j are installed within short time windows during which the affected instances are unavailable.
+
+The operations are non-destructive, so graph projections, models, and data present on an instance are not affected.
+No operation is applied until all the running GDS algorithms have completed.
+
+== Comparison
+
+There are important operational differences between the Graph Analytics plugin on AuraDB Professional and AuraDS.
