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.

Summary

• Get started
  • Deploy and integrate
  • Retrieve the URI
  • Enable TLS encryption
  • Remove the connection
• Learn more
• Project and community

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 Mongos K8s and Data Integrator, run:

juju deploy mongos-k8s
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.

For more information about accessing the database, see the Charmed MongoDB documentation for accessing a client database.

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 documentation for enabling security in sharded clusters

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.
