Exam DP-200 topic 1 question 17 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's DP-200

Question #: 17
Topic #: 1

You are developing a data engineering solution for a company. The solution will store a large set of key-value pair data by using Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB.
The solution has the following requirements:
✑ Data must be partitioned into multiple containers.
✑ Data containers must be configured separately.
✑ Data must be accessible from applications hosted around the world.
✑ The solution must minimize latency.
You need to provision Azure Cosmos DB.
Which three actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

A. Configure account-level throughput.
B. Provision an Azure Cosmos DB account with the Azure Table API. Enable geo-redundancy.
C. Configure table-level throughput.
D. Replicate the data globally by manually adding regions to the Azure Cosmos DB account.
E. Provision an Azure Cosmos DB account with the Azure Table API. Enable multi-region writes.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: E 🗳️
Scale read and write throughput globally. You can enable every region to be writable and elastically scale reads and writes all around the world. The throughput that your application configures on an Azure Cosmos database or a container is guaranteed to be delivered across all regions associated with your Azure Cosmos account. The provisioned throughput is guaranteed up by financially backed SLAs.

The answers are C, D and E. • C. Configure table-level throughput. Requirements state that containers must be configured separately. • D. Replicate the data globally by manually adding regions to the Azure Cosmos DB account. By adding extra regions our data is automatically copied to those regions reducing latency. • E. Provision an Azure Cosmos DB account with the Azure Table API. Enable multi-region writes. By enabling multi-region writes this also reduces latency since we don't have a single master database, but rather would be implementing a multi-master model.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/set-throughput From the above link CosmosDB allows throughput at two levels Azure Cosmos containers Azure Cosmos databases Hence B,D,E is correct answer. Sometimes we have to choose answer from list of provided answers.

Propose solution is C, D and E. When we say Azure Cosmos containers we are pertaining to the "CONTAINERS" of what we chose in the creation of DB. The option C pertains to configuration in "Cassandra API" in which the name of the container is "TABLE" and there are also other containers such as Container for SQL API, Collection for Mongo DB, graph for Gremlin API and Table for Table API Reference: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/sharing-provisioned-throughput-across-multiple-containers-in-azure-cosmosdb/
