DP-420 Question #99: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

You need to create a database in an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL account. The database will contain three containers named coll1, coll2, and coll3. The coll1 container will have unpredictable read and write volumes. The coll2 and coll3 containers will have predictable read and write volumes. The expected maximum throughput for coll1 and coll2 is 50,000 request units per second (RU/s) each. How should you provision the collection while minimizing costs?

Options

• ACreate a serverless account.
• BCreate a provisioned throughput account. Set the throughput for coll1 to Autoscale. Set the
• CCreate a provisioned throughput account. Set the throughput for coll1 to Manual. Set the

Explanation

Manual is best suited for workloads with steady or predictable traffic. Autoscale workloads is best suited with variable or unpredictable traffic. Note: Azure Cosmos DB allows you to set provisioned throughput on your databases and containers. There are two types of provisioned throughput, standard (manual) or autoscale. Autoscale provisioned throughput in Azure Cosmos DB allows you to scale the throughput (RU/s) of your database or container automatically and instantly. The throughput is scaled based on the usage, without impacting the availability, latency, throughput, or performance of the workload. The use cases of autoscale include: * Variable or unpredictable workloads https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/how-to-choose-offer
