Deploy a Standalone MongoDB Instance
On this page
You can deploy a standalone MongoDB instance for Cloud Manager to manage. Use standalone instances for testing and development. Do not use these deployments for production systems as they lack replication and high availability. For all production deployments use replica sets. To learn about replica sets, see Deploy a Replica Set.
To learn how to deploy a standalone using a Kubernetes object, see Deploy a Standalone in the MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator documentation.
Note
New in Cloud Manager
You can use Kubernetes to deploy MongoDB instances with Cloud Manager.
