Configure Kubernetes for Deploying MongoDB Resource
On this page
You can use the Kubernetes Operator to deploy MongoDB resources such as a replica set, a sharded cluster, or a standalone instance using an object. Ops Manager can generate the YAML files you need to configure your Kubernetes environment for deploying a MongoDB Database resource.
To generate the YAML files:
Verify Permissions
You must have one of the following roles to access the Ops Manager UI for setting up Kubernetes:

Set Up Kubernetes for a MongoDB Resource
The MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator requires a Kubernetes ConfigMap to create or link your Ops Manager project.
You can use the Ops Manager Kubernetes Setup page to automatically generate the ConfigMap. The generated YAML file for the ConfigMap looks similar to the following:
You need to store your Programmatic API Key as a Kubernetes secret to create or update Kubernetes objects in your Ops Manager project. A Kubernetes secret stores authentication credentials so only Kubernetes can access them.
Setting up Template files and Configuration Parameters
To generate the YAML files, you must do the following:
Create a secret file with your API keys.
Create a YAML file that contains your Programmatic API Key in the /mongodb-ops-manager/
folder.
Configure the Ops Manager settings for Kubernetes.
In your server's conf-mms.properties
file, configure the
following settings:
kubernetes.templates.credentialsFilePath
kubernetes.templates.projectFilePath
