Commit to a reservation for Azure Cosmos DB resources using Azure Cosmos DB reserved capacity to save money.\u00a0\u00a0Starting with our new 100 RU\/s option, any customer can now reduce costs using Azure Cosmos DB request units (RU\/s).

Bigger reservations, bigger discounts<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can reserve any quantity of the 100 RU\/s option. You can achieve even higher discounts on large-scale workloads for reservations over 1 million RU\/s. These bigger reservations offer up to 63% discounts. Please reach out to your sales representative or open a support case to unlock progressive discounts.
