Configure database or container-provisioned throughput

Completed

You can manage the provisioned throughput for both containers and databases using the CLI. Each of the container and database CLI groups includes a throughput subgroup with an update command.

Update container throughput

The az cosmosdb sql container throughput update command can change the throughput of the indicated container using the --throughput argument. In this example, the container is updated to 1,000 RU/s throughput.

az cosmosdb sql container throughput update \
    --account-name '<account-name>' \
    --resource-group '<resource-group>' \
    --database-name '<database-name>' \
    --name '<container-name>' \
    --throughput '1000'

Update database throughput

Similar to updating throughput for a container, a database's throughput can be changed using the --throughput argument of the az cosmosdb sql database throughput update command. In this example, the database is updated to 4,000 RU/s throughput.

az cosmosdb sql database throughput update \
    --account-name '<account-name>' \
    --resource-group '<resource-group>' \
    --name '<database-name>' \
    --throughput '4000'
