Cosmos DB Configuration

Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed, fully managed NoSQL database service. It provides fast and predictable performance with global distribution and transparent multi-master replication.

Syntax

The syntax for configuring a Cosmos DB account is as follows:

az cosmosdb create --name <name> --resource-group <resource-group-name> --kind <kind> --default-consistency-level <default-consistency-level> --locations <locations>

Example

az cosmosdb create --name my-cosmos-account --resource-group my-resource-group --kind globalDocumentDB --default-consistency-level Eventual --locations "East US=0" "West US=1"

Output

The output from the create command will provide details about the newly created Cosmos DB account, including the resource ID, name, and location.

Explanation

The az cosmosdb create command is used to create a new Cosmos DB account. The --name parameter is used to specify the name of the new account, while the --resource-group parameter is used to specify the name of the resource group to which the account should be added.

The --kind parameter is used to specify the type of Cosmos DB account to create. The --default-consistency-level parameter is used to specify the default consistency level for the new account.

The --locations parameter is used to specify the number and location of regions in which the Cosmos DB account should be deployed. For each region, you specify a region name and a priority. The first region listed is considered the primary region.
