Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing connect command and the shell's command-handling entry points, then compare the proposed profile save, list, use, and delete flows. Resolve how secure credential storage should work before implementation. Done means named profiles can be saved, listed, selected, and deleted without retyping connection strings.

Description
Feature Request
Priority: P1 (High)
Description
CosmosDB Shell has no way to save, list, or switch between named connection profiles. Power users managing multiple accounts/environments must re-type connection strings each time.
Comparable Features in Other Shells
- sqlcmd:
sqlcmd configsubcommands (config view,config use-context)
Proposed Behavior
Add a profile or config command:
profile save <name>— Save current connection as a named profileprofile list— List saved profilesprofile use <name>— Connect using a saved profileprofile delete <name>— Remove a saved profile- Store profiles securely (credential store integration or encrypted file)
Example Usage
connect --connect "AccountEndpoint=..." --connect-mode direct
profile save prod-account
profile list
profile use dev-account
