Create mongo collection in cosmos with shared throughput with mongodb .net driver

Question

I have an application which uses a cosmosdb with a mongoAPI. The application connects to the db with the MongoDb .net driver to create collections programatically, however it creates the collections without shared throughput. Is there a way to create a collection using shared throughput with the MongoDb .net driver?

Answer 1

The drivers written by MongoDB don't understand Shared Throughput.

If you want a .NET library that can create a Mongo DB database with shared throughput and collections underneath, an option you can use is the Azure Management Libraries for .NET. There is a repo with a bunch of samples that show how to create and manage Cosmos DB resources directly against its control plane, cosmos-management-net

Here is a specific sample for creating MongoDB resources in Cosmos DB MongoDB.cs.

I would use the generated libraries. The fluent ones are not as well supported.
