Manage Database by Kubernetes Operator
In our use case, we are dynamically creating feature environments based on the branch name. During this process, we are also creating MongoDB databases in the same Atlas cluster (different envs are sharing the same cluster but with different database names). For now, we need to do it with a separate CI step that should create this DB and delete it when the env is deleted.
It would be great to have the possibility to manage DB create/delete process with Kubernetes CRD. For now it's the only 1 missing feature that is blocking us to start using Operator.
4 votesThis is something we're considering for the future.
But the biggest problem we need to solve is that it's incredibly easy to create/delete/update databases within a deployment via many other interfaces. But if this happens, the Operator's source of truth (the custom resources) won't contain the changes, and the Operator would overwrite the changes using it's source of truth.

Use kubernetes Atlas operator to create and manage only users
We are already managing the Atlas project using terraform and do not want to have two separate tools managing the same resource. We would still like to generate atlas users automatically through the operator. If there was a method of just providing the project ID as a string like we are able to in the terraform resource definition, this would not be a problem.
4 votesWe're planning an investigation into this in Q2 (May-July for us). It's something more than one customer has asked for and allowing an Atlas ID to be used rather than a reference for another K8s resource feels like a reasonable approach.
No commitments for now till we've investigated in a little more detail.
