Set Up a Private Endpoint for a Federated Database Instance
On this page
MongoDB supports AWS private endpoints using the AWS PrivateLink feature for your federated database instance. You can set up the private endpoints from the Atlas User Interface and API.
Prerequisites
- Have either the
Project Owner
(GROUP_ATLAS_ADMIN
) or higher role in Atlas. - Have an AWS user account with an IAM user policy that grants permissions to create, modify, describe, and delete endpoints. To learn more about controlling the use of interface endpoints, see the AWS Documentation.
- Install the AWS CLI.
- If you have not already done so, create your VPC and EC2 instances in AWS. To learn more, see the AWS documentation for guidance.
Set Up Private Endpoint Through the User Interface
You can create a new private endpoint or add an existing private endpoint through your Atlas User Interface. To set up the private endpoint:
Set Up Private Endpoint Through the API
To configure a private endpoint from the API, send a POST
request
with the private endpoint ID to the privateNetworkSettings
endpoint.
- If the endpoint ID already exists and there is no change to the comment associated with the endpoint, Atlas makes no change to the endpoint ID list.
- If the endpoint ID already exists and there is a change to the
associated comment, Atlas updates the
comment
value only in the endpoint ID list. - If the endpoint ID doesn't exist, Atlas appends the new endpoint to the list of endpoints in the endpoint ID list.
