Working with the Table API in Azure Cosmos DB
As modern, cloud-based apps have evolved, they've required data storage to adapt with them. Services such as Azure Cosmos DB have risen to the challenge by providing a fully-managed, multi-model, globally-distributed NoSQL database. In this hands-on lab scenario, our organization (Awesome Company) is developing a next-generation video game that will rely heavily on the Cloud. In order to achieve guaranteed performance around the globe, we've chosen Azure Cosmos DB as the data backend. Knowing that session metadata is key to troubleshooting client issues, we have previously deployed a database account and a `Sessions` table using the Table API. You will now begin working with the session data. Performing the actions of this lab will help you become familiar with how to create, modify, delete, and query data using the Table API. **Note: Because the Azure Cosmos DB account is preprovisioned, it will take significant time for the lab to start up. Please be patient, and make sure to have at least an hour of time for completion of the lab.**
