Is Azure DocumentDB being renamed? [closed]

Tags:

I've created this post following the indications of the @AzureSupport Twitter account.

This morning (May 10th, 2017), while I was managing my Azure Resources I couldn't find my DocumentDB resources anymore.

But I noticed this:

azure-portal-capture-cosmosdb

I was wondering if it was just a bug or if DocumentDB is currently being renamed. For now I don't really want to touch my resources.

I cannot find any other occurrence of that Cosmos DB from Microsoft. Are other people seeing the same thing?

EDIT May 11th: Ok here is the announcement of Azure CosmosDB by Microsoft, apparently DocumentDB is becoming some kind of subset of that new Database system https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/introduction

It was announced today. Azure Cosmos DB is a superset of DocumentDB.

Microsoft is transitioning all existing DocumentDB customers and their data to Azure Cosmos DB for no additional charge.
