Hi @Mohd_Rashid and welcome to MongoDB community forums!!

@Mohd_Rashid

It should have master and slave concept

Based on the above statement, if you are looking to install MongoDB in master slave concept, the feature has been shut down since MongoDB version 4.0.
Hence the recommendation would be to use the latest version for new features and bug fixes.

In order to install MongoDB in a kubernetes environment, you can perform the same using help charts and kubectl function.
If you have install Google Kubernetes environment, you use the access link to access the environment and create the deployment, service and other yaml files.
You can follow the steps present in one of my posts as part of 100DaysOfCode challenge.

@Mohd_Rashid

first i will install in dev env and in production also

However, in saying so, if you wish to use MongoDB on a kubernetes production environment, I would recommend to use MongoDB Kubernetes Operator for its improved management and operational support.
You can follow the blog posts on Deploying the MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator on Google Cloud for further understanding.

Plse suggest which is good for production and dev ENV and also plse send me link where i can follow and install it

Hi @Mohd_Rashid

Master slave in replica set was a concept used in the older version. After 4.0, the replica set deployment follows the concepts of primary and secondary nodes.

If you wish to deploy MongoDB in a kubernetes environment, it can be done using both the replica seta and the sharding concepts using the Kubernetes operator.
However, if you have to use between replica set and sharding, it purely depends on your use case.

A replica set is a deployment with primary and secondary (and arbiters) which could be used to ensure data availability in a distributed environment and provide enough redundancy to survive most network partitions and other system failures.

If your current workload is not able to handle request, horizontal scaling could be one of the possible solutions you can go with. Sharding in MongoDB allows you to scale your deployment horizontally to allow equal distribution of workload among the servers.

Both of these deployments could be done in the kubernetes environment. The difference would only occur on how the yaml files have been deployed.

The steps mentioned below would help you deploy:

1. Replica set in MongoDB Kubernetes Operator
2. Sharded cluster in MongoDB Kubernetes Operator.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thank You

very much definitely i will follow your guidance to install/setup mongodb in Dev Env then in Production En.

Already my company is using mongodb atlas in AWS.

My job is to install/setup mongodb which is best for company in k8s then need to Migrate data from AWS to GCP.
