Cosmos DB Failover

Viewed 18

When using Cosmos DB is my understanding correct in saying you only create a single Cosmos DB Account (for example, in EUN) but you simply need to

  • Enable automatic failover
  • Add multiple failover locations (setting priority for each)

There is no need to provision two Cosmos DB Accounts separately, for example creating Cosmos in EUN and EUW?

If this is the case is the application only aware of a single connection string and if a failover does occur Microsoft does this in the background and all requests will route to the alternative region (based on priority)?
