Designing and Implementing Cloud-Native Applications Using Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB — Question 44

You have an Azure subscription. The subscription contains an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL account named account1 that hosts a container named Container1. Container1 has a provisioned throughput of 100 request units per second (RU/s) and uses a single physical partition.

You are evaluating the available throughput for Container1.

What is the maximum burst capacity that Container1 can accumulate?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a container in Azure Cosmos DB can accumulate throughput based on its provisioned RU/s and partitioning. Since Container1 has a provisioned throughput of 100 RU/s and a single physical partition, it can burst up to 300 RU/s for a limited time, but the maximum accumulated burst capacity is 30,000 RU/s, based on the calculation of 100 RU/s multiplied by the number of seconds in a 30-minute period. The other options are incorrect as they exceed the limits set by the provisioned throughput and partitioning strategy.
