Manage Private Endpoints for Dedicated Clusters

Specify the spec.privateEndpoints parameter.

Specify the spec.privateEndpoints parameter for the AtlasProject Custom Resource. In the spec.privateEndpoints.provider field, specify AWS. Replace the placeholder {aws-region} with the AWS region information for your private endpoints and run the following command:

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: atlas.mongodb.com/v1
kind: AtlasProject
metadata:
  name: my-project
spec:
  name: Test Atlas Operator Project
  privateEndpoints:
  - provider: "AWS"
    region: "{aws-region}"
EOF

Atlas creates the VPC resources in the region you selected. This might take several minutes to complete.

Find the service names for your private endpoints.

1. Run the following command:

   kubectl get atlasproject my-project -o yaml

2. Note the service name string for each private endpoint within the status.privateEndpoints.serviceName field of the AtlasProject Custom Resource.

Use the AWS CLI to configure each private endpoint.

To create your application VPC interface endpoint:

1. Copy the following command:

   aws ec2 create-vpc-endpoint --vpc-id {your-application-vpc-id} --region {aws-region} --service-name {service-name-string} --vpc-endpoint-type Interface --subnet-ids {your-application-subnet-ids}

2. Replace the following placeholders with the details about your AWS VPC:

   your-application-vpc-id	Unique string that identifies the peer AWS VPC. Find this value on the VPC dashboard in your AWS account.
   aws-region	Label that identifies the AWS region of the private endpoint.
   service-name-string	Unique string that identifies the service name for your private endpoint. Find this value within the status.privateEndpoints.serviceName field of the AtlasProject Custom Resource.
   your-application-subnet-ids	Unique strings that identify the subnets your AWS VPC uses. Separate each subnet with a space. Find these values on the Subnet dashboard in your AWS account. IMPORTANT: You must specify at least one subnet. If you don't, AWS won't provision a interface endpoint in your VPC. An interface endpoint is required for clients in your VPC to send traffic to the private endpoint.

3. Run the command with the AWS CLI.

4. Note the VpcEndpointId value in the output.

   Example

   "VpcEndpoint": {
            "VpcEndpointId": "vpce-XXXXXX",
            "VpcEndpointType": "Interface",
            "VpcId": "vpc-XXXXX",
            "ServiceName": "com.amazonaws.vpce.{aws-region}.vpce-svc-XXXX",
            "State": "pendingAcceptance",

To learn more, see Creating an Interface Endpoint in the AWS documentation.

Update the spec.privateEndpoints parameter.

Update the spec.privateEndpoints parameter for the AtlasProject Custom Resource. Specify the AWS region and replace vpce-id with the VpcEndpointId values for your private endpoints and run the following command:

Configure your private endpoints.

To edit the private endpoints and generate the necessary script with the Atlas UI, see Configure Private Endpoints.

To configure your private endpoints manually:

1. Copy the following shell script:

   #!/bin/bash
   gcloud config set project {google-cloud-project-id}
   for i in {0..5}
   do
     gcloud compute addresses create {private-service-connect-endpoint-prefix}-ip-$i --region={gcp-region} --subnet={subnet-name}
   done
   for i in {0..5}
   do
     if [ $(gcloud compute addresses describe {private-service-connect-endpoint-prefix}-ip-$i --region={gcp-region} --format="value(status)") != "RESERVED" ]; then
       echo "{private-service-connect-endpoint-prefix}-ip-$i is not RESERVED";
     exit 1;
     fi
   done
   for i in {0..5}
   do
     gcloud compute forwarding-rules create {private-service-connect-endpoint-prefix}-$i --region={gcp-region} --network={vpc-name} --address={private-service-connect-endpoint-prefix}-ip-$i --target-service-attachment=projects/{unique-ID}/regions/{gcp-region}/serviceAttachments/sa-{gcp-region}-{org-id}-$i
   done
   if [ $(gcloud compute forwarding-rules list --regions={gcp-region} --format="csv[no-heading](name)" --filter="name:{private-service-connect-endpoint-prefix}" | wc -l) -gt 50 ]; then
     echo "Project has too many forwarding rules that match prefix {endpoint-name}. Either delete the competing resources or choose another endpoint prefix."
     exit 2;
   fi
   gcloud compute forwarding-rules list --regions={gcp-region} --format="json(IPAddress,name)" --filter="name:{private-service-connect-endpoint-prefix}" > atlasEndpoints-{endpoint-name}.json

2. Replace the following placeholders with the details about your Google Cloud VPC:

   google-cloud-project-id	Unique ID that identifies your Google Cloud project. Find this value on the Dashboard page on your Google Cloud platform.
   private-service-connect-endpoint-prefix	Human-readable label that prefixes all endpoints created and identifies the endpoint group.
   gcp-region	Label that identifies the Google Cloud Platform region of the private endpoint.
   subnet-name	Human-readable label that identifies the subnet in your Google Cloud VPC. Find this value on the VPC Networks page on your Google Cloud dashboard.
   vpc-name	Human-readablle label that identifies the VPC that you want to use to connect to Atlas. Find this value on the VPC Networks page on your Google Cloud dashboard.
   unique-id	Unique string that you noted when you returned the project status.
   org-id	Unique 24-digit hexadecimal string that identifies the Atlas organization.

3. Save the shell file as setup_psc.sh and run the script from the directory where you saved the file with the following command:

   sh setup_psc.sh

   The script creates an atlasEndpoints-{endpoint-name}.json output file that contains a list of IP addresses and forwarding rule names.

4. Run the following commands to format the output for Atlas Kubernetes Operator:

   yq e -P atlasEndpoints-{endpoint-name}.json > atlasEndpoints-user-private-endpoint.yaml

   awk 'sub("name","endpointName")sub("IPAddress","ipAddress")' atlasEndpoints-user-private-endpoint.yaml

   The output shoud resemble the following example:

   - ipAddress: 10.0.0.00
     endpointName: {endpoint-name}-0
   - ipAddress: 10.0.0.01
     endpointName: {endpoint-name}-1
   - ipAddress: 10.0.0.02
     endpointName: {endpoint-name}-2
   - ipAddress: 10.0.0.03
     endpointName: {endpoint-name}-3
   - ipAddress: 10.0.0.04
     endpointName: {endpoint-name}-4
   - ipAddress: 10.0.0.05
     endpointName: {endpoint-name}-5

Update the spec.privateEndpoints parameter.

Update the spec.privateEndpoints parameter for the AtlasProject Custom Resource. Specify the Google Cloud Platform region, Google Cloud Project ID, Private Service Endpoint Prefix, your output information, and run the following command:
