MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator Helm Chart

A Helm Chart for installing and upgrading the MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator.

Prerequisites

The installation of this Chart does not have prerequisites. However, in order to create a Mongo Database in your Kubernetes cluster, you'll need a Cloud Manager account or an Ops Manager installation.

Installing Enterprise Operator

You can install the MongoDB Enterprise Operator easily with:

helm install enterprise-operator mongodb/enterprise-operator

This will install CRDs and the Enterprise Operator in the current namespace (default by default). You can pass a different namespace with:

helm install enterprise-operator mongodb/enterprise-operator --namespace mongodb [--create-namespace]

To install the Enterprise Operator in a namespace called mongodb; with the optional --create-namespace Helm will create the Namespace if it does not exist.

Configuring access to Cloud Manager

The Enteprise Operator can run against an account of Cloud Manager or Ops Manager.

Using Cloud Manager

Please visit "Configure Kubernetes for Deploying MongoDB Resource" in order to create new Secrets and ConfigMaps with credentials for your Cloud Manager project.

You will create a ConfigMap with name my-project, and a Secret with name my-credentials.

Deploying a MongoDB Replica Set

The Enterprise Operator will be watching for resources of type mongodb.mongodb.com (among others); you can quickly install a sample Mongo Database with:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mongodb/mongodb-enterprise-kubernetes/master/samples/mongodb/minimal/replica-set.yaml [--namespace mongodb]

• Note: Make sure you add the --namespace option when needed.

After a few minutes you will have a 3-member MongoDB Replica Set installed in your cluster, that you can check with:

$ kubectl get mdb
NAME              PHASE     VERSION
my-replica-set    Running   4.4.0-ent
