Amazon Keyspaces maps to Azure Cosmos DB for Apache Cassandra (serverless-style, RU-based) or Azure Managed Instance for Apache Cassandra (managed open-source Cassandra clusters).
- Engine. Keyspaces and Cosmos DB for Cassandra both implement CQL on their own engines, so some Cassandra features differ. Managed Instance runs real Apache Cassandra for the highest compatibility.
- Hybrid. Managed Instance datacenters can join existing on-premises or other-cloud Cassandra clusters. Keyspaces can't join existing clusters.
