Charmed MongoDB tutorial

The Charmed MongoDB 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 on top of Juju.
As a first step this tutorial shows you how to get Charmed MongoDB 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 LXD 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, it will be most beneficial if you already have a familiarity with:

• Basic terminal commands.
• MongoDB concepts such as replication and users.
