Challenge 3: Get Some Data

< Previous Challenge - Home - Next Challenge >

Introduction

Our application, like all applications, needs data. We will be using Azure Cosmos DB for this. Azure Cosmos DB is Microsoft’s globally distributed, multi-model database service. With a click of a button, Cosmos DB enables you to elastically and independently scale throughput and storage across any number of Azure regions worldwide.

Description

• In your shell, create a CosmosDB Account
  • NOTE: When creating large resources, be patient for it to end.
• Copy the PrimaryMasterKey of the CosmosDB Account you just created as we will be needing it later
• TIP: Once again, think about using a shell variable to hold this value.

Success Criteria

1. You’ve successfully created a new CosmosDB.
2. You’ve saved off the PrimaryMasterKey in a variable for future use.
