Deploy a Standalone MongoDB Instance

On this page

You can deploy a standalone MongoDB instance for Ops 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.

Added in Ops Manager 4.0

You can use Kubernetes to deploy MongoDB instances with Ops Manager version 4.0 or later.

To learn how to deploy a standalone using a Kubernetes object, see Deploy a Standalone in the MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator documentation.
