Description

We are introducing a cost-effective, simple, and efficient solution for migrating from RU-based Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB to vCore-based. You can now move to vCore-based Azure Cosmos DB for MongoDB at no cost using the Azure portal, with no additional resources required.  

 

With this new feature, you can enjoy a seamless, free, and no-installation migration process. The entire migration is portal-based, enabling you to manage everything directly from the Azure portal without needing any extra software or tools. This approach not only saves you time but also reduces the complexity of the migration process. 

 

This feature supports both online and offline migration, enabling you to transition to vCore-based without the financial burden. You also benefit from improved performance and scalability. The vCore-based version offers more predictable performance and better cost management, enabling you to optimize your resources and enhance the overall efficiency of your database operations.
