We are excited to announce that you can now manage Azure Cosmos DB resources using the new Az.CosmosDB<\/strong> PowerShell package. This package is currently in public preview and will be generally available (GA) soon!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Get Az.CosmosDB<\/h3>\n

To work with Az.CosmosDB, you will need:<\/p>\n

  2. The Az package<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  3. The Az.CosmosDB package<\/a>. (Note that when Az.CosmosDB becomes GA, the Az package will include it.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can work with Az.CosmosDB in your preferred Powershell console or editor. You can also work with Az.CosmosDB directly in the Azure portal Cloud Shell with PowerShell<\/a>. (Note: Az is automatically installed in Cloud Shell. Before GA, you will need to install Az.CosmosDB separately.)<\/p>\n

    Check your installations of Az and Az.CosmosDB with Get-InstalledModule<\/a> (your versions may differ):<\/p>\n

    \"Get-InstalledModule<\/p>\n

    Use Az.CosmosDB<\/h3>\n

    Now that you have Az.CosmosDB installed, what can you do with it?<\/p>\n

    You can run a complete set of management operations – create, update, delete, and list – on Azure Cosmos DB <\/span>accounts<\/a>, <\/span>databases, and containers.<\/a> Management cmdlets are available for all Cosmos DB APIs: Core (SQL), MongoDB, Cassandra, Gremlin, and Table.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Az.CosmosDB cmdlets can also manage:<\/p>\n
