Correct Answer: B.

Currently, after the Synapse Link capability is enabled at the account level, you cannot disable it. Understand that you will not have any billing implications if the Synapse Link capability is enabled at the account level and there is no analytical store enabled containers. If you need to turn off the capability, you have 2 options. The first one is to delete and re-create a new Azure Cosmos DB account, migrating the data if necessary. The second option is to open a support ticket, to get help on a data migration to another account.

Deleting the Azure Cosmos DB account with disable and removing Azure Synapse Link is the right option.

Option A is incorrect.

Deleting the Azure Cosmos DB Container is not the right choice.

Deleting the Azure Cosmos DB account with disabling and removing Azure Synapse Link is the right option.

The correct answer is option C: Setting the Azure Synapse Link option to disable on Azure Cosmos DB Container.

Azure Synapse Link for Azure Cosmos DB is a service that provides real-time analytics for Azure Cosmos DB data using Azure Synapse Analytics. It allows users to query and analyze data in near real-time without the need for ETL processes or data movement. However, there may be scenarios where users want to disable this integration.

To disable Azure Synapse Link for Azure Cosmos DB, the user needs to go to the Azure portal and follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Azure Cosmos DB account that has the Cosmos DB container with Azure Synapse Link enabled.
  2. Select the Cosmos DB container that has Azure Synapse Link enabled.
  3. In the container's Overview page, click on "Azure Synapse Link".
  4. In the "Azure Synapse Link" pane, select "Disable" and click "Save".

Disabling Azure Synapse Link for a container will stop the real-time data synchronization between Cosmos DB and Synapse Analytics. However, it will not delete the container or the data stored in it. The user can enable the Azure Synapse Link again by following the same steps and selecting "Enable" instead of "Disable".

Options A and B are incorrect because deleting the container or the Cosmos DB account will delete all the data stored in them, which may not be the desired outcome.

Option D is incorrect because there is no option to disable Azure Synapse Link for an instance in Azure Cosmos DB. The integration can only be enabled or disabled at the container level.
