Microsoft DP-420 Exam - Topic 2 Question 58 Discussion

You have a container in an Azure Cosmos DB Core (SQL) API account. The container stores telemetry data from IoT devices. The container uses telemetryId as the partition key and has a throughput of 1,000 request units per second (RU/s). Approximately 5,000 IoT devices submit data every five minutes by using the same telemetryId value.You have an application that performs analytics on the data and frequently reads telemetry data for a single IoT device to perform trend analysis.The following is a sample of a document in the container.You need to reduce the amount of request units (RUs) consumed by the analytics application.What should you do?
B) Increase the offerThroughput value for the container.
A) Decrease the offerThroughput value for the container.
C) Move the data to a new container that has a partition key of deviceId.
D) Move the data to a new container that uses a partition key of date.

[All DP-420 Questions]

You have a container in an Azure Cosmos DB Core (SQL) API account. The container stores telemetry data from IoT devices. The container uses telemetryId as the partition key and has a throughput of 1,000 request units per second (RU/s). Approximately 5,000 IoT devices submit data every five minutes by using the same telemetryId value.

You have an application that performs analytics on the data and frequently reads telemetry data for a single IoT device to perform trend analysis.

The following is a sample of a document in the container.

You need to reduce the amount of request units (RUs) consumed by the analytics application.

What should you do?

Not sure about the date partition key, seems less relevant for telemetry data.

I’m leaning towards option C, but I’m a bit uncertain if it’s the best choice since we might still have a lot of data for each device.

I practiced a similar question where we had to optimize RUs, and I feel like increasing throughput could actually lead to higher costs instead of reducing RUs.

I remember that using the right partition key can really impact performance, but I'm not sure if switching to deviceId or date is better for reducing RUs.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Increasing the offerThroughput value for the container seems like the most straightforward way to reduce the RU consumption.

Okay, I think I've got a strategy here. Since the analytics app frequently reads data for a single IoT device, I'll try moving the data to a new container with deviceId as the partition key.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the partition key and how that relates to the RU consumption. I'll need to review the Azure Cosmos DB concepts again.

Ah, the joys of Azure Cosmos DB! Where the partition keys are made up and the RUs don't matter. Just toss some more money at it, and all your problems will go away. Truly the cloud equivalent of turning it off and on again.

B is the way to go! Increasing the throughput is the easiest solution, and it will just cost you more money. Why bother with all this partition key nonsense when you can just throw more RUs at the problem?

Hmm, I'm leaning towards D. Partitioning by date sounds like a more natural fit for time-series data like this. Plus, it might make it easier to manage the data in the long run.

I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't partitioning by date be better? That way, the application can easily access data for a specific time period, which could be useful for trend analysis.
