Description

Get more flexibility in how you authenticate to the dedicated gateway as well as which dedicated gateway requests use the integrated cache. Support for RBAC authentication using Microsoft Entra ID allows you to connect to the dedicated gateway without relying on the primary key to your Azure Cosmos DB account. Additionally, the request option to bypass the integrated cache gives you fine-grained control over which dedicated gateway requests are sent straight to the database. Allowing some requests to bypass the cache means you can optimize your cache space with the items and queries that are most likely to be repeated and lower the risk of frequently read data being evicted.
