Create a database and graph for Azure Cosmos DB - API for Gremlin
APPLIES TO: Gremlin
Note
We recommend that you use the Azure Az PowerShell module to interact with Azure. To get started, see Install Azure PowerShell. To learn how to migrate to the Az PowerShell module, see Migrate Azure PowerShell from AzureRM to Az.
This sample requires Azure PowerShell Az 5.4.0 or later. Run Get-Module -ListAvailable Az
to see which versions are installed.
If you need to install, see Install Azure PowerShell module.

Sample script
# Reference: Az.CosmosDB | https://docs.microsoft.com/powershell/module/az.cosmosdb
# --------------------------------------------------
# Purpose
# Create Cosmos Gremlin API account, database, and graph
# with dedicated throughput and conflict resolution policy
# with last writer wins and custom resolver path
# --------------------------------------------------
Function New-RandomString{Param ([Int]$Length = 10) return $(-join ((97..122) + (48..57) | Get-Random -Count $Length | ForEach-Object {[char]$_}))}
# --------------------------------------------------
$uniqueId = New-RandomString -Length 7 # Random alphanumeric string for unique resource names
$apiKind = "Gremlin"
# --------------------------------------------------
# Variables - ***** SUBSTITUTE YOUR VALUES *****
$locations = @()
$locations += New-AzCosmosDBLocationObject -LocationName "East Us" -FailoverPriority 0 -IsZoneRedundant 0
$locations += New-AzCosmosDBLocationObject -LocationName "West Us" -FailoverPriority 1 -IsZoneRedundant 0
$resourceGroupName = "myResourceGroup" # Resource Group must already exist
$accountName = "cosmos-$uniqueId" # Must be all lower case
$consistencyLevel = "Session"
$tags = @{Tag1 = "MyTag1"; Tag2 = "MyTag2"; Tag3 = "MyTag3"}
$databaseName = "myDatabase"
$graphName = "myGraph"
$graphRUs = 400
$partitionKeys = @("/myPartitionKey")
# --------------------------------------------------
$conflictResolutionPath = "/_ts"
# --------------------------------------------------
Write-Host "Creating account $accountName"
$account = New-AzCosmosDBAccount -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroupName `
-LocationObject $locations -Name $accountName -ApiKind $apiKind -Tag $tags `
-DefaultConsistencyLevel $consistencyLevel `
-EnableAutomaticFailover:$true
Write-Host "Creating database $databaseName"
$database = New-AzCosmosDBGremlinDatabase -ParentObject $account `
-Name $databaseName
# Prepare conflict resolution policy object for graph
$conflictResolutionPolicy = New-AzCosmosDBGremlinConflictResolutionPolicy `
-Type LastWriterWins -Path $conflictResolutionPath
Write-Host "Creating graph $graphName"
$graph = New-AzCosmosDBGremlinGraph -ParentObject $database `
-Name $graphName -Throughput $graphRUs `
-PartitionKeyKind Hash -PartitionKeyPath $partitionKeys `
-ConflictResolutionPolicy $conflictResolutionPolicy
Clean up deployment
After the script sample has been run, the following command can be used to remove the resource group and all resources associated with it.
Remove-AzResourceGroup -ResourceGroupName "myResourceGroup"
