Use the kubectl mongodb plugin to:
Before you begin, install the kubectl mongodb plugin.
The kubectl mongodb plugin has the following subcommands:
setup Subcommand
The kubectl mongodb multicluster setup subcommand sets up the initial multi-Kubernetes-cluster deployment.
It performs the following actions:
Creates a default ConfigMap named
mongodb-enterprise-operator-member-listthat contains all the member clusters of the multi-Kubernetes-cluster deployment. This name is hard-coded and you can't change it. See Known Issues.Creates ServiceAccounts, Roles, ClusterRoles, RoleBindings and ClusterRoleBindings in the central cluster and each member cluster.
Applies the correct permissions for service accounts.
Uses the preceding settings to create your multi-Kubernetes-cluster deployment.
