Can I use this for cross-partition queries?

While the skill supports cross-partition queries using enable_cross_partition_query=True, it provides guidance to use them sparingly due to higher RU costs.

Does this skill support the Async Python client?

Yes, it includes implementation patterns for azure.cosmos.aio, enabling high-performance asynchronous operations for high-throughput scenarios.

How does this skill handle authentication?

It prioritizes secure authentication using DefaultAzureCredential from the azure-identity package, following Microsoft's recommended security practices.

Does it help with partition key design?

Yes, the skill emphasizes the critical importance of partition keys for efficient point reads and queries, providing examples for single and hierarchical keys.
