With Azure Cosmos DB, you can set the consistency level at the container level (on the table). By using the .NET SDK, you can change the level by providing the value for TableConsistencyLevel key in the app.config file. The possible values are: Strong, Bounded Staleness, Session, Consistent Prefix, and Eventual. For more information, see Tunable data consistency levels in Azure Cosmos DB. The key idea is that you can't set the request consistency level at more than the setting for the table. For example, you can't set the consistency level for the table at Eventual and the request consistency level at Strong.
