Charmed Mongos K8s documentation
The Charmed Mongos K8s operator deploys and operates mongos
instances on Kubernetes.
mongos
is a router for connecting client applications to a sharded MongoDB clusters. It is the only way to access a sharded MongoDB cluster from the client perspective.
To deploy a sharded MongoDB cluster, please see our Charmed MongoDB K8s operator.
Summary
Get started
The following steps will guide you through briefly creating a client connection to a sharded MongoDB cluster via mongos-k8s
.
You’ll need a Juju environment and a MongoDB K8s application deployed as a sharded cluster. For more guidance, see the Charmed MongoDB K8s deployment guide.
Deploy and integrate
To deploy a MongoDB K8s sharded cluster with one shard, run:
juju deploy mongodb-k8s --config role="config-server" config-server --trust
juju deploy mongodb-k8s --config role="shard" shard0 --trust
The
--trust
flag is necessary to grant the application access to the Kubernetes cluster.
To deploy mongos-k8s
and data-integrator
, run:
juju deploy mongos-k8s --trust
juju deploy data-integrator --config database-name=<name>
When the status of the mongos-k8s
application becomes idle
, integrate mongos-k8s
with data-integrator
and with the mongodb-k8s
application running as config-server
:
juju integrate mongos-k8s data-integrator
juju integrate config-server mongos-k8s
Retrieve the URI
In order to access the integrated database, you will need the mongos-k8s
URI. To retrieve this, run the following command:
juju run data-integrator/leader get-credentials
You will find the URI under the field uris
in the output.
Enable TLS encryption
If the sharded MongoDB cluster has TLS enabled, mongos-k8s
must also enable TLS. Enable it by integrating mongos-k8s
with a TLS application:
juju integrate mongos-k8s <tls-application>
<tls-application>
must be the same TLS application that the sharded MongoDB cluster is integrated to.
For more information about TLS in sharded clusters, see the Charmed MongoDB K8s documentation
External connections
If you would like to connect the sharded MongoDB K8s cluster outside of Juju, this is possible with the configuration expose-external
in the mongos-k8s charm.
Simply configure the charm to use nodeport
:
juju config mongos-k8s expose-external=nodeport
This will make the mongos router accessible outside of Juju and will provide you access to the cluster. You will now see that all of your client URIs have been updated.
For example run:
juju run data-integrator get-credentials
You will see that the URI has changed.
To reconfigure the charm to have internal access only, run:
juju config mongos-k8s expose-external=none
Remove the connection
To remove a mongos-k8s
connection to the sharded cluster, run:
juju remove-relation config-server mongos-k8s
Whenmongos-k8s
is removed from the sharded cluster, the client is removed as well.
