What it does
Azure Resource Manager SDK for Cosmos DB in .NET. Use for MANAGEMENT PLANE operations: creating/managing Cosmos DB accounts, databases, containers, throughput settings, and RBAC via Azure Resource Manager. NOT for data plane operations (CRUD on documents) - use Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos for that. Triggers: "Cosmos DB account", "create Cosmos account", "manage Cosmos resources", "ARM Cosmos", "CosmosDBAccountResource", "provision Cosmos DB".
Azure.ResourceManager.CosmosDB (.NET)
Management plane SDK for provisioning and managing Azure Cosmos DB resources via Azure Resource Manager.
⚠️ Management vs Data Plane
- This SDK (Azure.ResourceManager.CosmosDB): Create accounts, databases, containers, configure throughput, manage RBAC
- Data Plane SDK (Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos): CRUD operations on documents, queries, stored procedures execution

using Azure.ResourceManager.CosmosDB;
// Local dev: DefaultAzureCredential. Production: set AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=prod or AZURE_TOKEN_CREDENTIALS=<specific_credential>
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential(
DefaultAzureCredential.DefaultEnvironmentVariableName
);
// Or use a specific credential directly in production:

// var credential = new ManagedIdentityCredential();
var armClient = new ArmClient(credential);
// Get subscription
var subscriptionId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID");
var subscription = armClient.GetSubscriptionResource(
new ResourceIdentifier($"/subscriptions/{subscriptionId}"));
