Cosmos DB for Apache Cassandra
Ivybridge Telecom's application uses CQL to talk to an Apache Cassandra cluster. It wants a fully managed service with global distribution and no nodes or clusters to size, patch, or repair, while keeping its CQL code. What should you recommend?
- A.Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL
- B.Azure Managed Instance for Apache Cassandra
- C.Azure Cosmos DB for Apache Cassandra
- D.Azure Table Storage
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Azure Cosmos DB for Apache Cassandra
Why: Azure Cosmos DB for Apache Cassandra supports the Cassandra wire protocol and CQL, with throughput-based scaling and turnkey global distribution and no nodes to manage. Managed Instance for Apache Cassandra automates operations but still requires choosing and scaling node-based datacenters. The NoSQL API and Table Storage would require rewriting the data access code.
