# Rolling Index Creates one index to a database deployment in a rolling manner. Rolling indexes build indexes on the applicable nodes sequentially and may reduce the performance impact of an index build if your deployment's average CPU utilization exceeds (N-1)/N-10% where N is the number of CPU threads available to mongod of if the WiredTiger cache fill ratio regularly exceeds 90%. If your deployment does not meet this criteria, use the default index build. You can't create a rolling index on an `M0` free cluster or `M2/M5` shared cluster. ## Operations - [Create One Rolling Index](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/api/doc/atlas-admin-api-v2/2023-02-01/operation/operation-creategroupclusterindexrollingindex.md) [Powered by Bump.sh](https://bump.sh)
