App1 queries the con-product and con-productVendor containers.
Note: Request unit is a performance currency abstracting the system resources such as CPU, IOPS, and memory that are required to perform the database operations supported by Azure Cosmos DB.
Scenario:
Develop an app named App1 that will run from all locations and query the data in account1.
Once multi-region writes are configured, maximize the performance of App1 queries against the data in account1.
Whenever there are multiple solutions for a requirement, select the solution that provides the best performance, as long as there are no additional costs associated.

Explanation:

Box 1: No
Four containers with 1000 RU/s each.
Box 2: No
Max 8000 RU/s for db2. 8 containers, so 1000 RU/s for each container.
Box 3: Yes
Max 8000 RU/s for db2. 8 containers, so 1000 RU/s for each container. Can very well add an additional container.

Explanation:
Box 1 =On (no default)
For con-iot1, you need to configure the default TTL setting to On (no default), which means that items in this container do not expire by default, but you can override the TTL value on a per-item basis. This meets the requirement of retaining all telemetry data unless overridden1.
Box 2 = On (3600 seconds)
For con-iot2, you need to configure the default TTL setting to On (3600 seconds), which means that items in this container will expire 3600 seconds (one hour) after their last modified time. This meets the requirement of deleting all telemetry data older than one hour1.

Explanation:
Box 1 =The request level options
Azure Cosmos DB offers five well-defined consistency levels: strong, bounded staleness, session, consistent prefix and eventual. You can configure the default consistency level on your Azure Cosmos DB account at any time2. The default consistency level appliesto all databases and containers under that account1. You can also override the default consistency level for a specific request by using the request options2.
Box 2 =The request level options
To modify the consistency level of a read operation in Azure Cosmos DB, you can use request-level options to override the account's default consistency setting. Therefore, to ensure that the read operations of App1 can request either consistent prefix or session consistency, you need to modify the request-level options for each operation.Reference: -https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/consistency-levels

the Azure Cosmos DB integrated cache is an in-memory cache that is built-in to the Azure Cosmos DB dedicated gateway. The dedicated gateway is a front-end compute that stores cached data and routes requests to the backend database. You can choose from a variety of dedicated gateway sizes based on the number of cores and memory needed for your workload1. The integrated cache can reduce the RU consumption and latency of read operations by serving them from the cache instead of the backend containers2.
For your scenario, to ensure that App1 can use the integrated cache, you should perform these two actions:
* Change the account endpoint to https://account1.sqlx.cosmos.azure.com. This is the dedicated gateway endpoint that you need to use to connect to your Azure Cosmos DB account and leverage the integrated cache. The standard gateway endpoint (https://account1.documents.azure.com) will not use the integrated cache2.
* Change the consistency level of requests to session. This is the highest consistency level that is supported by the integrated cache. If you use a higher consistency level (such as strong or bounded staleness), your requests will bypass the integrated cache and go directly to the backend containers
