Important This service is deprecated and will be deleted in the next minor release. We strongly recommend not creating any new instances with this service. We also recommend deleting or moving existing instances to user-provided instances, as these instances will be out of the control of CSB once the offering is no longer available in the CSB catalog.

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

Plans

The following table lists the plans available for Azure Cosmos DB SQL API:

Plan Description
small SQL Cosmos DB Account, no redundancy, and 400 request units.
medium SQL Cosmos DB Account, single read failover location, and 1,000 request units.
large SQL 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 Values Default Required
name The plan name n/a Yes
id A unique GUID n/a Yes
description Description of the new plan n/a 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-cosmosdb-sql 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 table below lists the parameters that you can configure, using the -c flag, when provisioning a csb-azure-cosmosdb-sql service:

Parameter Name Type Description Default Operation

location string The location of the CosmosDB account. westus provision
ip_range_filter string CosmosDB Firewall Support. This value specifies the set of IP addresses or IP address ranges in CIDR form to be included as the allowed list of client IP addresses for a given database account.

IP addresses and ranges must be comma separated and must not contain any spaces. 0.0.0.0 allows access from Azure networks. An empty string "" allows access from all public networks.
0.0.0.0 provision and update
consistency_level string The Consistency Level to use for this Cosmos DB Account. The options are BoundedStaleness, Eventual, Session, Strong, and ConsistentPrefix.

If you choose BoundedStaleness, you must also set max_interval_in_seconds and max_staleness_prefix.
Session provision and update
max_interval_in_seconds integer Required when consistency_level is set to BoundedStaleness.
Sets the time in seconds that staleness is tolerated. Accepted range for this value is 5 - 86400 (1 day).
5 provision and update
max_staleness_prefix integer Required when consistency_level is set to BoundedStaleness.
Sets the number of stale requests tolerated. Accepted range for this value is 10 to 2147483647.
100 provision and update
enable_multiple_write_locations boolean Set to true to enable multiple write locations for this Cosmos DB account. false provision and update
