Follow-Up on Enabling Partition Key Delete Feature for Cosmos DB Account

LeRoy, Kevin 105

Hello,

This is just a follow-up regarding the following question: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/2259655/enable-partition-key-delete-feature-for-cosmos-acc?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Someone on my team is seeking confirmation on whether this feature is currently supported through ARM templates. The community post appears to contain conflicting information — one part mentions that the feature can be configured using ARM or Bicep templates, while another part states it cannot.

Could you please clarify the current status?

Hello @LeRoy, Kevin,

Thank you for the follow-up question. Regarding Tracking and ETA:

There is no specific estimated time of arrival mentioned in internal documentation or public sources for when unsupported features will be incorporated into ARM/Bicep templates.

However, it provides a dedicated page for tracking Bicep and ARM template specs, including versioning and deployment guidance.

Hello @LeRoy, Kevin,

Thanks for the follow up question, as of now, the “Delete items by partition key” feature in Azure Cosmos DB is not supported through Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. This capability must be enabled manually using the Azure CLI.
