You have an Azure Cosmos DB account named account1 that has a default consistency level...

Box 1 = The request level options

Azure Cosmos DB offers five well-defined consistency levels: strong, bounded staleness, session, consistent prefix and eventual.  You can configure the default consistency level on your Azure Cosmos DB accou nt at any time 2 .  The default consistency level applies to all databases and containers under that account 1 .  You can also over ride the default consistency level for a specific request by using the request options 2 .

Box 2 = The request level options

To modify the consistency level of a read operation in Azure Cosmos DB, you can use request-level options to override the account ' s default consistency setting. Therefore, to ensure that the read operations of App1 can request either consistent prefix or session consistency, you need to modify the request-level options for each operation.
