Integrate Azure Key Vault with MongoDB Client-Side Field Level Encryption

**You probably already know that MongoDB Atlas is MongoDB as a service in the public cloud of your choice but did you know we also offer a free forever cluster? In this Quick Start, we'll show you why you should get one and how to create one.**

MongoDB Atlas's Free Tier clusters - which are also known as M0 Sandboxes - are limited to only 512MB of storage but it's more than enough for a pet project or to learn about MongoDB with our [free MongoDB University](http://bit.ly/mongodbuniversity) courses.

The only restriction on them is that they are available in a few regions for each of our three cloud providers: currently there are six on AWS, five on Azure, and four on Google Cloud Platform.

In this tutorial video, I will show you [how to create an account](http://bit.ly/mdb-atlas). Then I'll show you how to create your first 3 node cluster and populate it with sample data.

Now that you understand the basics of [MongoDB Atlas](https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/), you may want to explore some of our advanced features that are not available in the Free Tier clusters:

-   [Peering your MongoDB Clusters](https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/security-vpc-peering/) with your AWS, GCP or Azure machines is only available for dedicated instances (M10 at least),
-   [LDAP Authentication and Authorization](https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/security-ldaps/),
-   [AWS PrivateLink](https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/billing/additional-services/#private-endpoints).

Our new [Lucene-based Full-Text Search engine](https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/atlas-search/) is now available for free tier clusters directly.
