Important
Feature unavailable in Serverless Instances
Serverless instances don't support this feature at this time. To learn more, see Serverless Instance Limitations.
MongoDB supports AWS private endpoints using the AWS PrivateLink feature for Online Archives. You can set up the private endpoints from the Atlas User Interface and API.
Note
You can set up private endpoints for a dedicated cluster. To learn more, see Configure Private Endpoints.
Required Access
To set up a private endpoint for an Online Archive, you must have
Project Owner access or higher to the project.
Prerequisites
Have an AWS user account with an IAM user policy that grants permissions to create, modify, describe, and delete endpoints. For more information on controlling the use of interface endpoints, see the AWS Documentation.
If you have not already done so, create your VPC and EC2 instances in AWS. See the AWS documentation for guidance.
Note
You can't use your Atlas cluster private endpoint ID for an Online Archive. The Online Archive endpoint ID must be different from your Atlas cluster endpoint ID, if you have one.
Set Up Private Endpoint Through the User Interface
You can create a new private endpoint or add an existing private endpoint for the online archives through your Atlas User Interface. To set up the private endpoint:
Set Up Private Endpoint Through the API
To configure a private endpoint for an online archive 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
commentvalue 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.
