    Setting Suggested value Description
    ID Enter a unique name Enter a unique name to identify this Azure Cosmos DB account. Because cassandra.cosmosdb.azure.com is appended to the ID that you provide to create your contact point, use a unique but identifiable ID.

    The ID can contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-) character, and it must contain 3 to 50 characters.
    API Cassandra The API determines the type of account to create. Azure Cosmos DB provides five APIs to suit the needs of your application: SQL (document database), Gremlin (graph database), MongoDB (document database), Azure Table, and Cassandra, each of which currently requires a separate account.

    Select Cassandra because, in this quickstart, you are creating a wide-column database that is queryable using CQL syntax.

    Learn more about the Cassandra API.
