Azure Cosmos DB naming confusion

[thomasvdb]

When looking at the naming conventions for databases and more specifically Azure Cosmos DB, there is some confusion due to the use of terminology.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-adoption-framework/ready/azure-best-practices/resource-naming#example-names-databases

The document states the naming for the "Azure Cosmos DB database" but shouldn't this be the "Azure Cosmos DB account"? The database within an "Azure Cosmos DB account" doesn't has a "Global" scope as far as I know.

It also seems weird to add an environment suffix at the end for a database name within an account?
