Hi Katerina Kostrioukova

Greeting!

As I understand, you are experiencing issues while creating an Azure Cosmos DB account and have queries related to its cost.

Please find the below standard procedures and support plans:

1. Database region not supported: Some regions may not be available for Azure Cosmos DB due to subscription type, availability zone limitations, or other restrictions. If you're using a free or Pay-As-You-Go subscription, certain regions might not be listed.
2. Pricing for learning purposes: Azure Cosmos DB offers different pricing models, including serverless and provisioned throughput options. If you're just experimenting, you might want to use the Azure Cosmos DB free tier, which provides 1000 RU/s and 25 GB of storage at no cost for the lifetime of the account. This is a great way to explore Cosmos DB without incurring charges. I kindly request you to please share the details requested in the private message for further investigation, which will help us address the issue. If required, we will create a support request for your issue.

Hi Katerina Kostrioukova

When I am trying to create Cosmos Db, first need to create account and getting a problem that database region is not supported.

Using this Product Availability by Region you can check the service is available in your particular region or not.

If you are still facing the issue as database region is not supported, it might be due to your subscription have some limitation re the region you are requested is not allowing to create a database due to large volume of request are coming for that particular region.

To resolve this, you can raise support request to raise quota for your subscription from here as below:

Also need to know what will be the price if I need to create a Cosmos Db for just learning purposes

As you want it for learning purpose, I will suggest you use Azure Cosmos DB free. Explore Azure Cosmos DB at no cost with a free 30-day sandbox account—no credit card required. Get hands-on experience, and please note that all data will be deleted upon expiration.

You can also upgrade your active trial sandbox account to a paid Azure subscription at any time during the 30-day trial period.
