A developer is setting up a new Azure Cosmos DB container in the Azure portal and wants to provision 500 RU/s for the container. During the container creation process, where should they specify this throughput value?

In the 'Networking' tab of the Azure Cosmos DB account creation form

In the 'Throughput' section of the container creation form

In the 'Partition key' field of the container creation form

In the 'Backup & Replication' tab of the Azure Cosmos DB account creation form

A developer is designing an Azure Cosmos DB solution for a multi-tenant application. Each tenant has its own container, and the team wants to ensure that a single tenant cannot consume more than its allocated share of throughput. Which design approach best achieves this?

Use a single container for all tenants with database-level throughput

Use serverless mode for all containers

Create a separate container for each tenant with container-level throughput

Partition all tenants into a single partition key

A startup is building a proof-of-concept IoT dashboard. The workload is expected to be idle most of the day, with occasional bursts of writes for a few minutes when devices sync. The team has no committed budget and wants to minimize costs during the pilot. They plan to use the free tier if possible. Which throughput model should they choose?

Provisioned throughput with manual scaling on a dedicated container

Database-level provisioned throughput with autoscale

Provisioned throughput with autoscale on a shared database

Serverless throughput on a container

A developer is implementing resource governance for an Azure Cosmos DB database that is shared by multiple applications. The goal is to ensure that no single application can consume all the provisioned throughput and cause throttling for others. Which strategy should the developer use?

Provision throughput at the database level and rely on Azure Cosmos DB to distribute it evenly

Use a single container with a partition key per application

Create a separate container for each application with container-level throughput

Enable serverless mode to automatically balance throughput

A developer is designing a new Azure Cosmos DB container for an order-processing system. Each order document is about 2 KB. The system processes 100 orders per second, and each write operation costs 10 RU/s. Additionally, the system reads each order once after writing, with a read costing 2 RU/s. What is the minimum provisioned throughput needed for the container to handle the peak write and read load?
