Optimize an Azure Cosmos DB solution

Question

You have an Azure subscription. The subscription contains an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL account named account1 that hosts a container named Container1. Container1 has a provisioned throughput of 100 request units per second (RU/s) and uses a single physical partition. You are evaluating the available throughput for Container1. What is the maximum burst capacity that Container1 can accumulate?

Options

  • A300 RU/s
  • B1,000 RU/s
  • C30,000 RU/s
  • D100,000 RU/s

Explanation

Azure Cosmos DB containers can accumulate burst capacity when they are under-utilized. Containers that have provisioned throughput and are using a single physical partition can accumulate up to 5 minutes' worth of their provisioned throughput in burst capacity, up to a maximum of 300 RU/s per physical partition. Given that Container1 has a provisioned throughput of 100 RU/s and uses a single physical partition, it can accumulate up to 300 RU/s in burst capacity (3 times the provisioned throughput). This burst capacity can be used during short periods of increased load when the container needs more throughput than is provisioned.
