The MongoDB Kubernetes Operator

The MongoDB Kubernetes Operator is part of the Kubernetes ecosystem, which is an open-source container orchestration system for automating application deployment, scaling, and management. The MongoDB Kubernetes Operator is a tool that helps you manage MongoDB clusters in Kubernetes. It supports features such as authentication, TLS, replication, sharding, and backup.

As Kubernetes grows in popularity, the need to manage stateful applications, such as databases, from within the Kubernetes environment becomes evident. The MongoDB Kubernetes Operator is specifically designed to manage MongoDB clusters using custom resources tailored for MongoDB deployment.

The MongoDB Kubernetes Operator creates, configures, and manages MongoDB deployments from a single Kubernetes control plane. This means, you can manage MongoDB instances on Kubernetes just by creating native objects, such as a Deployment, a ReplicaSet, or a StatefulSet.
