The first section in this chapter focuses on the big picture: what a sharded cluster is, how it works, and what the business rationale might be for its deployment. The other two sections of this chapter show you how to configure and deploy a sharded cluster.
In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:
- MongoDB sharding overview
- Sharded cluster configuration
- Sharded cluster deployment
Let's get started!
