Announcing the Public Preview of Integrated Embeddings in Azure Cosmos DB: Build AI Apps With Embeddings That Stay in Sync

Short summary

Azure Cosmos DB now automatically generates and maintains vector embeddings as data changes, eliminating the need for separate embedding pipelines. Configured via vector policy specifying source properties and embedding models (text-embedding-3-small/large, ada-002 via Microsoft Foundry), with Entra authentication. A hands-on quickstart walks through creating a container, inserting data, and querying embeddings.
