Kubernetes Operator v1.0.0
Released 9 May 2025
MongoDB is unifying its Kubernetes offerings with the introduction of Kubernetes Operator. This new operator is an open-source project and represents a merge of the previous MongoDB Community Operator and the MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator. This makes it easier to manage, scale, and upgrade your deployments. Future changes will build on this to more closely align how Community and Enterprise are managed in Kubernetes, to offer an even more seamless and streamlined experience.
As an open-source project, it now allows for community contributions, helping drive quicker bug fixes and ongoing innovation.
License
Users with contracts that allowed use of the Enterprise Operator can still leverage the new replacement, allowing customers to adopt it without contract changes. Kubernetes Operator itself is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license, and a license file included in the repository provides further detail.
License entitlements for all other MongoDB products and tools, such as MongoDB Enterprise Server and Ops Manager, remain unchanged. If you have licensing questions regarding these products or tools, please contact your MongoDB account team.
Migration
Migration from the Community Kubernetes Operator and the Enterprise Kubernetes Operator to Kubernetes Operator is seamless: your MongoDB deployments are not impacted by the upgrade and require no changes. Simply follow the instructions in the migration guide.
Legacy Operator Deprecation and EOL
We will continue best-effort support of the Community Kubernetes Operator for 6 months, until November, 2025. Each Enterprise Kubernetes Operator release will remain supported according to the current guidance.
All future bug fixes and improvements will be released in new versions of Kubernetes Operator. We encourage all users to plan their migration to Kubernetes Operator within these timelines.
