Install MongoDB Search and Vector Search on multiple Clusters

You can use the Kubernetes Operator to deploy MongoDB Search and Vector Search across multiple Kubernetes clusters for an external MongoDB deployment. In this case the Kubernetes Operator just manages mongot, not the external MongoDB deployment. Your MongoDB deployment is external to the Kubernetes Operator. It can run:

• Outside Kubernetes, such as on virtual machines

• In Kubernetes clusters, but not managed by the Kubernetes Operator

The Kubernetes Operator runs in a single, central cluster and deploys a mongot group into each Kubernetes cluster that you list in the spec.clusters field of the MongoDBSearch custom resource. Each mongot group syncs only from the MongoDB members that you map to it. You control this mapping with member tags, which you set later in this procedure.

Select your configuration to filter the installation procedure for your deployment.

use admin;

db.createUser({
   user: "search-sync-source",
   pwd: "<PASSWORD>", // Replace with your actual password
   roles: [
      { role: "searchCoordinator", db: "admin" }
   ]
});
