Two new toolkits for Azure Cosmos DB, both aimed at the same problem: agents that forget.
The Agent Memory Toolkit gives your agents durable memory, so context survives past the current turn. The Agentic Retrieval Toolkit is a reference architecture for multi-step RAG, where the agent retrieves, checks what's missing, and goes back for more before answering.

ALT Illustration promoting secure key rotation in Azure Cosmos DB. The image features the text “Safe Key Rotation in Azure Cosmos DB” over a starry space-themed background. Below the title are three main icons: an Azure Cosmos DB database symbol on the left, two cryptographic keys surrounded by circular rotation arrows in the center, and a blue security shield with a checkmark on the right. Additional security-themed elements, including padlocks, cloud graphics, network connections, and binary data, appear throughout the image, emphasizing cloud security, credential management, and data protection.

Introducing the Azure Cosmos DB Cost Estimator (public preview)
msft.it/6016vbNaE
In under 2 minutes, you can:
- Start from a real workload (AI chat, RAG, catalog, etc.)
- Get a $/month estimate
- See exactly what’s driving cost (regions, RU/s, storage, vectors)
👉 Try it:

ALT Screenshot of the Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL pricing estimator interface titled “Get a monthly estimate, fast.” The page presents two setup options for estimating monthly costs. The first option, “Guide me to my estimate,” offers a guided workflow that asks questions about workload patterns and estimated throughput, storage, and cost. The second option, “Let me configure for myself,” allows users to manually tune all configuration inputs. Each option includes an estimated completion time and a call-to-action button to begin setup.

The left side features large white and blue text on a dark blue background reading “Announcing the Public Preview of Distributed Transactions for Azure Cosmos DB for NoSQL.” The right side shows a stylized Azure Cosmos DB globe icon above three connected database nodes, illustrating coordinated transactions across multiple data partitions. A green checkmark between the globe and databases symbolizes successful transaction completion. Blue glowing accents and star-like elements reinforce themes of cloud scale, reliability, and distributed data management.

Missed #MSBuild last week? Hear how PepsiCo built their data layer to power agentic AI applications across the enterprise: msft.it/6012vb278.
Using the right database for the right job (Azure SQL DB, Azure Cosmos DB, PostgreSQL on Azure), Pepsi built a practical path for agentic RAG architecture, leveraging features like vector indexing and semantic search, to streamline app development and enable faster, repeatable patterns.
