description: >-
  Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed, globally distributed, multi-model NoSQL
  and relational database service from Microsoft Azure that supports document,
  key-value, graph, column-family, and vector data models with turnkey global
  distribution, elastic scale, and SLA-backed latency, throughput,
  consistency, and availability. The Cosmos DB REST API exposes CRUD and
  query operations on databases, containers, items, stored procedures,
  triggers, and user-defined functions using master-key or resource-token
  authentication, alongside the Cosmos DB Resource Provider (Azure Resource
  Manager) using Microsoft Entra ID OAuth 2.0.
