Azure.ResourceManager.CosmosDB (.NET)

Management plane SDK for provisioning and managing Azure Cosmos DB resources via Azure Resource Manager.

⚠️ Management vs Data Plane

• This SDK (Azure.ResourceManager.CosmosDB): Create accounts, databases, containers, configure throughput, manage RBAC
• Data Plane SDK (Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos): CRUD operations on documents, queries, stored procedures execution

Installation

dotnet add package Azure.ResourceManager.CosmosDB
dotnet add package Azure.Identity

Current Versions: Stable v1.4.0, Preview v1.4.0-beta.13

Environment Variables

AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id>
# For service principal auth (optional)
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenant-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>

Authentication

using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;
using Azure.ResourceManager.CosmosDB;

// Always use DefaultAzureCredential
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
var armClient = new ArmClient(credential);

// Get subscription
var subscriptionId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID");
var subscription = armClient.GetSubscriptionResource(
    new ResourceIdentifier($"/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}"));

Core Workflow

1. Create Cosmos DB Account

using Azure.ResourceManager.CosmosDB;
using Azure.ResourceManager.CosmosDB.Models;

// Get resource group
var resourceGroup = await subscription
    .GetResourceGroupAsync("my-resource-group");

// Define account
var accountData = new CosmosDBAccountCreateOrUpdateContent(
    location: AzureLocation.EastUS,
    locations: new[]
    {
        new CosmosDBAccountLocation
        {
            LocationName = AzureLocation.EastUS,
            FailoverPriority = 0,
            IsZoneRedundant = false
        }
    })
{
    Kind = CosmosDBAccountKind.GlobalDocumentDB,
    ConsistencyPolicy = new ConsistencyPolicy(DefaultConsistencyLevel.Session),
    EnableAutomaticFailover = true
};

// Create account (long-running operation)
var accountCollection = resourceGroup.Value.GetCosmosDBAccounts();
var operation = await accountCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
    WaitUntil.Completed,
    "my-cosmos-account",
    accountData);

CosmosDBAccountResource account = operation.Value;
