This topic gives you reference information about the Azure Cosmos DB Mongo API service (csb-azure-mongodb). It details the plans, configuration parameters, and binding credentials.

Plans

The following table lists the pre-configured plans available for Azure Cosmos DB Mongo API:

Plan Description
small Mongo Cosmos DB Account, no redundancy, and 400 request units.
medium Mongo Cosmos DB Account, single read failover location, and 1,000 request units.
large Mongo Cosmos DB Account, single read/write failover location, and 10,000 request units.

Plan Configuration Parameters

When configuring Cloud Service Broker for Azure you can add additional plans. For how to configure plans, see Configure Services with Cloud Service Broker for Azure.

Note To effectively leverage the capabilities of the Tanzu Cloud Service Broker for Azure, VMware advises creating and managing custom plans. These plans are configurable through the tile, providing a user-friendly method to define and adjust service characteristics. For more information about custom plans, see Custom Plans.

The following table lists parameters which can only be configured for additional plans:

Parameter Name Description Default Required
name The plan name. n/a Yes
id A unique GUID. n/a Yes
description Description of the new plan. n/a Yes
private_endpoint_subnet_id ID of the subnet within which the Private Endpoint for the CosmosDB account is created. For example, "exampleID" "" No
private_dns_zone_ids Array of Private DNS Zone IDs to create private DNS zone groups for when using Private Endpoints. For example, ["exampleID1", "exampleID2"] [] No
metadata.displayName Name to use when displaying the plan in the Marketplace. n/a No
metadata.bullets List of bullet points to display in Apps Manager. n/a No

You can also add any of the configuration parameters listed in the parameters section to your plan.

Note If you set a parameter at plan level, developers cannot change the value when creating or updating service instances.

Configuration Parameters

You can provision a service by running:

cf create-service csb-azure-mongodb PLAN-NAME SERVICE-INSTANCE-NAME -c '{"PARAMETER-NAME": "PARAMETER-VALUE"}'

You can update the configuration parameters for a service instance by running:

cf update-service SERVICE-INSTANCE-NAME -c '{"PARAMETER-NAME": "PARAMETER-VALUE"}'

The following table lists the parameters that you can configure, using the -c flag, when provisioning a csb-azure-mongodb service:

Binding Credentials

The format for binding credentials for Azure Cosmos DB Mongo API is as follows:

{
    "uri" : "PRIMARY-MASTER-MONGODB-URI",
    "status" : "STATUS-DESCRIPTION"
}

Where:

  • PRIMARY-MASTER-MONGODB-URI is the primary master MongoDB URI of the Cosmos DB Mongo Collection.
  • STATUS-DESCRIPTION is the status of the operation.
