Manage Azure Cosmos DB for Gremlin resources using Bicep

APPLIES TO: Gremlin

In this article, you learn how to use Bicep to deploy and manage your Azure Cosmos DB for Gremlin accounts, databases, and graphs.

This article shows Bicep samples for API for Gremlin accounts. You can also find Bicep samples for SQL, Cassandra, MongoDB, and Table APIs.

To create any of the Azure Cosmos DB resources below, copy the following example into a new bicep file. You can optionally create a parameters file to use when deploying multiple instances of the same resource with different names and values. There are many ways to deploy Azure Resource Manager templates including, Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell.
