Create a MongoDB cluster

Create a managed MongoDB cluster from the MongoDB section in the console.

Prerequisites

• BYOA secrets configured for your account
• An enabled availability zone (for example, eu-central-1)

To create a cluster

1. Open the myStack console and choose MongoDB, then create a cluster.
2. For Name, enter a unique cluster name.
3. For Availability Zone, choose a zone.
4. For Database Engine, choose a MongoDB version (options load after you choose a zone).
5. For Server type, choose an instance size.
6. For Root Password, enter a password for the root user. Store it securely.
7. (Optional) Set the initial replica-set size.
8. Choose Save.

myStack redirects you to the cluster detail page. Wait until Status is Ready before connecting or changing configuration.
