Charmed MongoDB 5 K8s Tutorial
The Charmed MongoDB K8S Operator delivers automated operations management from day 0 to day 2 on the MongoDB Community Edition document database.
It is an open source, end-to-end, production-ready data platform product on top of Juju and Kubernetes. As a first step, this tutorial shows you how to get Charmed MongoDB on Kubernetes up and running, but the tutorial does not stop there. Through this tutorial you will learn a variety of operations, everything from adding replicas to advanced operations such as enabling Transcript Layer Security (TLS). In this tutorial we will walk through how to:
- Set up your environment using Microk8s and Juju
- Deploy MongoDB using a single command.
- Access the admin database directly.
- Add high availability with replication.
- Change the admin password.
- Automatically create MongoDB users via Juju relations.
- Enable secure transactions with TLS.
While this tutorial intends to guide and teach you as you deploy Charmed MongoDB K8S, it will be most beneficial if you already have a familiarity with:
- Basic terminal commands.
- MongoDB concepts such as replication and users.
