Where is my Azure Cosmos DB Free Trial account?

Square

So you’ve signed up for the Azure Cosmos DB Free Trial and have an Azure account… but can’t find that free trial? Something to keep in mind about the Azure Cosmos DB Free Trial is that it is a sandboxed free trial. Sandboxed resources do not appear where your regular Azure resources appear.

  1. In the Azure portal, in the upper right corner, select your profile icon. Then, select Switch directory.

2. From the directory list, select the Switch button for the directory named TryCosmosDBfor…In my example, it is TryCosmosDBforPG, which is trying Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL.
