Install and Use Search With MongoDB Enterprise Edition

You can use the Kubernetes Operator to deploy MongoDB Search and Vector Search resources to run with MongoDB enterprise v8.2.0 or later on a Kubernetes cluster.

This procedure demonstrates how to deploy and configure one or more mongot processes to run with a new or existing replica set or sharded cluster in your Kubernetes cluster.

The deployment uses TLS certificates to ensure secure communication between MongoDB nodes and the mongot search process.

Troubleshooting

Verify the Deployment

After the procedure completes, confirm the deployment is healthy before running queries.

Checkpoint	Verification Step
MongoDB resource running	Run `kubectl get mongodb -n <your-namespace>` and confirm the `MongoDB` resource shows the `Running` phase.
MongoDBSearch resource running	Run `kubectl get mongodbsearch -n <your-namespace>` and confirm the `MongoDBSearch` resource shows the `Running` phase.
All pods healthy	Run `kubectl get pods -n <your-namespace>` and confirm all replica set member pods and search pods show a `Running` status with all containers ready.
Search queries succeed	Connect to the replica set and run a MongoDB Search or Vector Search query to confirm the search index is reachable.

Next Steps

After deploying MongoDB Search and Vector Search to use with MongoDB Enterprise Edition, you can add data to your MongoDB cluster, create MongoDB Search and Vector Search indexes, and run queries against your data. To learn more, see MongoDB Search and Vector Search Settings.
