On-Premise instance
Allow us to host our own on-premise DocumentDB instances

At this time we do not have immediate plans for an on-premises version of Azure Cosmos DB. We will continue to evaluate this as we receive feedback from customers.

An on prem installation of CosmosDB, is something that would be nice. A document DB offering from Microsoft would be good. Many Microsoft customers, don't have the option to migrating to Cloud and would be beneficial if we have on-prem option for CosmosDB

This why we can't use cosmosdb... Unable to support onpremise deployments (in docker or so).

while Microsoft does not recognize this requirement - we use couchbase

On premise DocumentDB is a must for us, Because constant internet connection is not a option for us.

Why not letting people having DocumentDB on Azure stack?
-
Ryan Groom commented
Our solution requires DocDB and our customers require Azure Stack. I hope this is reconsidered.

I strongly agree with this because many people wants to use local apps as well as cloud sync so why you let them use the local from other vendors such as mongodb or anyother database..

It would be more useful to me to have a local DocumentDB as a cache. It is too complicated right now with caching items locally as you have to convert a Document into a SQLite table.

I suggest to have DocumentDB to work on local network on Windows Server and not only on Azure just like Microsoft SQL Server

We also would need a full blown on-premise DocumentDB, because of security restrictions and restrictions based on legislation. Or, the JSON support in SQL Server should be enhanced, so that a DocumentDB would not be needed.
Until that time I am afraid we would have to make to choice for a none-Microsoft product, which is not our preferred option. -

Must have. Will not contemplate the Stack without it, as we need a noSQL that isn't mongodb, Cassandra e.g. all. Demo at SQL Pass today was compelling.

Absolutely would like to stick with Microsoft stack for document dbs rather than going to Mongo/Cassandra, but many customers simply will not allow cloud storage and require on-premise.

If Azure datacentre was available in Africa, we would use cloud. Until then we need on premise solution

No doubt running in Azure Stack would be great for those who can afford it. But now MS have gone down the route of forcibly bundling it with what will be very expensive hardware solutions I'd much rather you ship this to run outside of it i.e. via Service Fabric on normal Windows Server.

I am a Microsoft DSA dedicated to one of our largest consumer of Azure's services today. They have expressed quite a bit of interest in an on-premise DocDB and asked me to inquire about the viability of such an offering. In fact, they pointed me to this discussion thread.
Please advise if there is any traction...

On premise DocumentDB is a must. It will ease NoSQL data management without the need to be connected to the cloud.
