Throughput (RU/s) operations with Azure CLI for a database or graph for Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB
APPLIES TO: MongoDB
The script in this article creates a MongoDB database with shared throughput and collection with dedicated throughput, then updates the throughput for both. The script then migrates from standard to autoscale throughput then reads the value of the autoscale throughput after it has been migrated.
If you don't have an Azure trail subscription, create a trial subscription before you begin.
Prerequisites
You can use the local Azure CLI.
If you prefer, install the Azure CLI to run CLI reference commands.
Local Azure CLI, see how to install the Azure CLI. If you're running on Windows or macOS, consider running Azure CLI in a Docker container. For more information, see How to run the Azure CLI in a Docker container.
Sign in to the Azure CLI by using the az login command. To finish the authentication process, follow the steps displayed in your terminal. For other sign-in options, see Sign in with the Azure CLI.
When you're prompted, install the Azure CLI extension on first use. For more information about extensions, see Use extensions with the Azure CLI.
Run az version to find the version and dependent libraries that are installed. To upgrade to the latest version, run az upgrade.
This article requires version 2.30 or later. Run
az --version
to find the version. If you need to install or upgrade, see Install Azure CLI.Note
Before you can use Azure CLI in Microsoft Azure operated by 21Vianet, please run
az cloud set -n AzureChinaCloud
first to change the cloud environment. If you want to switch back to Azure Public Cloud, runaz cloud set -n AzureCloud
again.
Sample script
Sign in to Azure
Use the following script to sign in using a different subscription, replacing <Subscription ID>
with your Azure Subscription ID. If you don't have an Azure trail subscription, create a trial subscription before you begin.
az cloud set -n AzureChinaCloud
az login
subscription="<subscriptionId>" # add subscription here
az account set -s $subscription # ...or use 'az login'
For more information, see set active subscription or log in.

Clean up resources
Use the following command to remove the resource group and all resources associated with it using the az group delete command - unless you have an ongoing need for these resources. Some of these resources may take a while to create, as well as to delete.
az group delete --name $resourceGroup
