Manage Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL resources using PowerShell

  • Article

APPLIES TO: NoSQL

The following guide describes how to use PowerShell to script and automate management of Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL resources, including the Azure Cosmos DB account, database, container, and throughput. For PowerShell cmdlets for other APIs see PowerShell Samples for Cassandra, PowerShell Samples for API for MongoDB, PowerShell Samples for Gremlin, PowerShell Samples for Table

Note

Samples in this article use Az.CosmosDB management cmdlets. See the Az.CosmosDB API reference page for the latest changes.

For cross-platform management of Azure Cosmos DB, you can use the Az and Az.CosmosDB cmdlets with cross-platform PowerShell, as well as the Azure CLI, the REST API, or the Azure portal.

Note

We recommend that you use the Azure Az PowerShell module to interact with Azure. See Install Azure PowerShell to get started. To learn how to migrate to the Az PowerShell module, see Migrate Azure PowerShell from AzureRM to Az.

Getting Started

Follow the instructions in How to install and configure Azure PowerShell to install and sign in to your Azure account in PowerShell.

Important

Azure Cosmos DB resources cannot be renamed as this violates how Azure Resource Manager works with resource URIs.

Azure Cosmos DB accounts

The following sections demonstrate how to manage the Azure Cosmos DB account, including:

Create an Azure Cosmos DB account

This command creates an Azure Cosmos DB database account with multiple regions, service-managed failover and bounded-staleness consistency policy.

$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup"
$accountName = "mycosmosaccount"
$apiKind = "Sql"
$consistencyLevel = "BoundedStaleness"
$maxStalenessInterval = 300
$maxStalenessPrefix = 100000
$locations = @()
$locations += New-AzCosmosDBLocationObject -LocationName "China East" -FailoverPriority 0 -IsZoneRedundant 0
$locations += New-AzCosmosDBLocationObject -LocationName "China North" -FailoverPriority 1 -IsZoneRedundant 0

New-AzCosmosDBAccount `
    -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName `
    -LocationObject $locations `
    -Name $accountName `
    -ApiKind $apiKind `
    -EnableAutomaticFailover:$true `
    -DefaultConsistencyLevel $consistencyLevel `
    -MaxStalenessIntervalInSeconds $maxStalenessInterval `
    -MaxStalenessPrefix $maxStalenessPrefix
  • $resourceGroupName The Azure resource group into which to deploy the Azure Cosmos DB account. It must already exist.
  • $locations The regions for the database account, the region with FailoverPriority 0 is the write region.
  • $accountName The name for the Azure Cosmos DB account. Must be unique, lowercase, include only alphanumeric and '-' characters, and between 3 and 31 characters in length.
  • $apiKind The type of Azure Cosmos DB account to create. For more information, see APIs in Azure Cosmos DB.
  • $consistencyPolicy, $maxStalenessInterval, and $maxStalenessPrefix The default consistency level and settings of the Azure Cosmos DB account. For more information, see Consistency Levels in Azure Cosmos DB.

Azure Cosmos DB accounts can be configured with IP Firewall, Virtual Network service endpoints, and private endpoints. For information on how to configure the IP Firewall for Azure Cosmos DB, see Configure IP Firewall. For information on how to enable service endpoints for Azure Cosmos DB, see Configure access from virtual Networks. For information on how to enable private endpoints for Azure Cosmos DB, see Configure access from private endpoints.

List all Azure Cosmos DB accounts in a Resource Group

This command lists all Azure Cosmos DB accounts in a Resource Group.

$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup"

Get-AzCosmosDBAccount -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName

Get the properties of an Azure Cosmos DB account

This command allows you to get the properties of an existing Azure Cosmos DB account.

$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup"
$accountName = "mycosmosaccount"

Get-AzCosmosDBAccount -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName -Name $accountName

Update an Azure Cosmos DB account

This command allows you to update your Azure Cosmos DB database account properties. Properties that can be updated include the following:

  • Adding or removing regions
  • Changing default consistency policy
  • Changing IP Range Filter
  • Changing Virtual Network configurations
  • Enabling multi-region writes

Note

You cannot simultaneously add or remove regions (locations) and change other properties for an Azure Cosmos DB account. Modifying regions must be performed as a separate operation from any other change to the account.

Note

This command allows you to add and remove regions but does not allow you to modify failover priorities or trigger a manual failover. See Modify failover priority and Trigger manual failover.

Tip

When a new region is added, all data must be fully replicated and committed into the new region before the region is marked as available. The amount of time this operation takes will depend upon how much data is stored within the account. If an asynchronous throughput scaling operation is in progress, the throughput scale-up operation will be paused and will resume automatically when the add/remove region operation is complete.

# Create account with two regions
$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup"
$accountName = "mycosmosaccount"
$apiKind = "Sql"
$consistencyLevel = "Session"
$enableAutomaticFailover = $true
$locations = @()
$locations += New-AzCosmosDBLocationObject -LocationName "China East" -FailoverPriority 0 -IsZoneRedundant 0
$locations += New-AzCosmosDBLocationObject -LocationName "China North" -FailoverPriority 1 -IsZoneRedundant 0

# Create the Azure Cosmos DB account
New-AzCosmosDBAccount `
    -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName `
    -LocationObject $locations `
    -Name $accountName `
    -ApiKind $apiKind `
    -EnableAutomaticFailover:$enableAutomaticFailover `
    -DefaultConsistencyLevel $consistencyLevel

# Add a region to the account
$locationObject2 = @()
$locationObject2 += New-AzCosmosDBLocationObject -LocationName "China East" -FailoverPriority 0 -IsZoneRedundant 0
$locationObject2 += New-AzCosmosDBLocationObject -LocationName "China North" -FailoverPriority 1 -IsZoneRedundant 0
$locationObject2 += New-AzCosmosDBLocationObject -LocationName "China East" -FailoverPriority 2 -IsZoneRedundant 0

Update-AzCosmosDBAccountRegion `
    -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName `
    -Name $accountName `
    -LocationObject $locationObject2

Write-Host "Update-AzCosmosDBAccountRegion returns before the region update is complete."
Write-Host "Check account in Azure portal or using Get-AzCosmosDBAccount for region status."
Write-Host "When region was added, press any key to continue."
$HOST.UI.RawUI.ReadKey("NoEcho,IncludeKeyDown") | OUT-NULL
$HOST.UI.RawUI.Flushinputbuffer()

# Remove China North region from the account
$locationObject3 = @()
$locationObject3 += New-AzCosmosDBLocationObject -LocationName "China East" -FailoverPriority 0 -IsZoneRedundant 0
$locationObject3 += New-AzCosmosDBLocationObject -LocationName "China East" -FailoverPriority 1 -IsZoneRedundant 0

Update-AzCosmosDBAccountRegion `
    -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName `
    -Name $accountName `
    -LocationObject $locationObject3

Write-Host "Update-AzCosmosDBAccountRegion returns before the region update is complete."
Write-Host "Check account in Azure portal or using Get-AzCosmosDBAccount for region status."

Enable multiple write regions for an Azure Cosmos DB account

$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup"
$accountName = "mycosmosaccount"
$enableAutomaticFailover = $false
$enableMultiMaster = $true

# First disable service-managed failover - cannot have both service-managed
# failover and multi-region writes on an account
Update-AzCosmosDBAccount `
    -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName `
    -Name $accountName `
    -EnableAutomaticFailover:$enableAutomaticFailover

# Now enable multi-region writes
Update-AzCosmosDBAccount `
    -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName `
    -Name $accountName `
    -EnableMultipleWriteLocations:$enableMultiMaster

Delete an Azure Cosmos DB account

This command deletes an existing Azure Cosmos DB account.

$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup"
$accountName = "mycosmosaccount"

Remove-AzCosmosDBAccount `
    -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName `
    -Name $accountName `
    -PassThru:$true

Update Tags of an Azure Cosmos DB account

This command sets the Azure resource tags for an Azure Cosmos DB account. Tags can be set both at account creation using New-AzCosmosDBAccount as well as on account update using Update-AzCosmosDBAccount.

$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup"
$accountName = "mycosmosaccount"
$tags = @{dept = "Finance"; environment = "Production";}

Update-AzCosmosDBAccount `
    -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName `
    -Name $accountName `
    -Tag $tags

Enable service-managed failover

The following command sets an Azure Cosmos DB account to perform a service-managed fail over to its secondary region should the primary region become unavailable.

$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup"
$accountName = "mycosmosaccount"
$enableAutomaticFailover = $true
$enableMultiMaster = $false

# First disable multi-region writes - cannot have both automatic
# failover and multi-region writes on an account
Update-AzCosmosDBAccount `
    -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName `
    -Name $accountName `
    -EnableMultipleWriteLocations:$enableMultiMaster

# Now enable service-managed failover
Update-AzCosmosDBAccount `
    -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName `
    -Name $accountName `
    -EnableAutomaticFailover:$enableAutomaticFailover

Modify Failover Priority

For accounts configured with Service-Managed Failover, you can change the order in which Azure Cosmos DB will promote secondary replicas to primary should the primary become unavailable.

For the example below, assume the current failover priority is China North = 0, China East = 1, China East = 2. The command will change this to China North = 0, China East = 1, China East = 2.

Caution

Changing the location for failoverPriority=0 will trigger a manual failover for an Azure Cosmos DB account. Any other priority changes will not trigger a failover.

$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup"
$accountName = "mycosmosaccount"
$locations = @("China North", "China East", "China East") # Regions ordered by UPDATED failover priority

Update-AzCosmosDBAccountFailoverPriority `
    -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName `
    -Name $accountName `
    -FailoverPolicy $locations

Trigger Manual Failover

For accounts configured with Manual Failover, you can fail over and promote any secondary replica to primary by modifying to failoverPriority=0. This operation can be used to initiate a disaster recovery drill to test disaster recovery planning.

For the example below, assume the account has a current failover priority of China North = 0 and China East = 1 and flip the regions.

Caution

Changing locationName for failoverPriority=0 will trigger a manual failover for an Azure Cosmos DB account. Any other priority change will not trigger a failover.

Note

If you perform a manual failover operation while an asynchronous throughput scaling operation is in progress, the throughput scale-up operation will be paused. It will resume automatically when the failover operation is complete.

$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup"
$accountName = "mycosmosaccount"
$locations = @("China East", "China North") # Regions ordered by UPDATED failover priority

Update-AzCosmosDBAccountFailoverPriority `
    -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName `
    -Name $accountName `
    -FailoverPolicy $locations

List resource locks on an Azure Cosmos DB account

Resource locks can be placed on Azure Cosmos DB resources including databases and collections. The example below shows how to list all Azure resource locks on an Azure Cosmos DB account.

$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup"
$resourceTypeAccount = "Microsoft.DocumentDB/databaseAccounts"
