Actual exam question for Microsoft's DP-420 exam

Question #: 72
Topic #: 5

You have an Azure subscription. The subscription contains an Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL account named account! that hosts a container named Container 1. Container! has a provisioned throughput of 100 request units per second (RU/s) and uses a single physical partition.

Vou are evaluating the available throughput for Container1.

What is the maximum burst capacity that Container1 can accumulate?

C30,000 RU/s

D100.000 RU/s

B1,000 RU/s

A300 RU/s

I believe it can burst up to 300 RU/s with accumulation.

It should be 100 RU/s, right? That's the provisioned amount.

I thought it was capped at the provisioned amount, interesting!

Yup, it can burst up to 200 RU/s for short periods!

Wait, can it really burst higher than that?

It's 100 RU/s for the provisioned throughput.

The maximum burst capacity is 1,000 RU/s. I'm not sure why, but I feel like this is the right answer. Maybe it's because I'm a famous actor and I just have a knack for these kinds of questions.

The maximum burst capacity is 20,000 RU/s. I'm pretty sure this is the correct answer because the question mentions that the container uses a single physical partition, and the burst capacity is usually 200 times the provisioned throughput.

The maximum burst capacity is 5,000 RU/s. This is because the container has a provisioned throughput of 100 RU/s, and the burst capacity is typically 50 times the provisioned throughput.

I think the maximum burst capacity is 1,000 RU/s. The question states that the container has a provisioned throughput of 100 RU/s, and the burst capacity is usually 10 times the provisioned throughput.

The maximum burst capacity for Container1 is 10,000 RU/s. This is because the container has a provisioned throughput of 100 RU/s, and the burst capacity is typically 100 times the provisioned throughput.

I feel like the burst capacity is tied to the 100 RU/s, but I’m confused about how long it can sustain that burst.

This question seems similar to one we practiced where we calculated burst limits for different services. I think it might be 300 RU/s for a short period?

I remember something about burst capacity being a multiple of the RU/s, but I can't recall the exact calculation.

I think the maximum burst capacity is related to the provisioned throughput, but I'm not entirely sure how it accumulates over time.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. I'll need to spend some time working through the example and making sure I have the right approach before answering.

This looks straightforward. I just need to apply the formula for maximum burst capacity given the provisioned throughput and partition details.

I'm a bit confused on how the burst capacity works for Cosmos DB. I'll need to review the documentation to make sure I understand the concept properly.

Okay, I think I know how to approach this. I'll need to calculate the maximum burst capacity based on the provisioned throughput and the single physical partition.
