Exam DP-420 topic 2 question 9 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's DP-420

Question #: 9
Topic #: 2

You have an Azure Cosmos DB Core (SQL) API account named account1 that has a single read-write region and one additional read region. Account1 uses the strong default consistency level.
You have an application that uses the eventual consistency level when submitting requests to account1.
How will writes from the application be handled?

A. Writes will use the eventual consistency level.
B. Azure Cosmos DB will reject writes from the application.
C. Writes will use the strong consistency level.
D. The write order is not guaranteed during replication.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
Overriding the default consistency level only applies to reads within the SDK client. An account configured for strong consistency by default will still write and replicate data synchronously to every region in the account. When the SDK client instance or request overrides this with Session or weaker consistency, reads will be performed using a single replica.
