Then, we learned about the different elements of the Cosmos DB resource model, allowing us to have a clear understanding of how to work with this database service. We understood the system topology that provides support to Cosmos DB at a global scale and we analyzed the resource hierarchy for each container. We now know the name for each element that we will have to use to develop applications that work with Cosmos DB and to manage this innovative ...
