Microsoft Designing and Implementing Cloud-Native Applications Using Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB Sample Questions:

Question #1

You have a container in an Azure Cosmos DB Core (SQL) API account.
You need to use the Azure Cosmos DB SDK to replace a document by using optimistic concurrency.
What should you include in the code? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.
NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Correct Answer:


Explanation:

Box 1: ConsistencyLevel
The ItemRequestOptions Class ConsistencyLevel property gets or sets the consistency level required for the request in the Azure Cosmos DB service.
Azure Cosmos DB offers 5 different consistency levels. Strong, Bounded Staleness, Session, Consistent Prefix and Eventual - in order of strongest to weakest consistency.
Box 2: _etag
The ItemRequestOptions class helped us implement optimistic concurrency by specifying that we wanted the SDK to use the If-Match header to allow the server to decide whether a resource should be updated. The If- Match value is the ETag value to be checked against. If the ETag value matches the server ETag value, the resource is updated.
