  1. arm64 support for Kubernetes Operator

    Arm64 processors are getting more and more popular. Would be really nice to be able to run MongoDB Kubernetes Operator on a Raspberry Pi cluster.

    Otherwise, meanwhile would be nice to get documentation updated on how to produce arm64 images to still make it possible without having full CI infrastructure support.

  2. Headless OPS Manager deployment

    Currently Ops Manager CRD deployment requires configuration using GUI which is a manual step. An option completely define all OPS Manager settings / Org in declarative manner via yaml will be great in building completely automated CI/CD Pipelines

  5. Allow the Kubernetes Operator to delete a project

    Currently it is not possible to delete a project via kubectl command.

    As the Kubernetes Operator allows one to create a project (configmap) and deploy a replica set, we would expect it to also allow the deletion of a project so that we can fully automate the solution.

    While deletion of a deployment is possible via Kubernetes, deleting a MongoDB resource doesn’t remove it from the Ops Manager UI. You must remove the resource from Ops Manager manually. To learn more, see Remove a Process from Monitoring.


    Deleting a MongoDB resource for which you enabled backup doesn’t delete the resource’s snapshots. You must delete snapshots in Ops Manager.


    Find out more.


    Work is planned to remove Ops Manager as a prerequisite (though it's use will still be optional and supported) and as part of that we hope to address this deletion aspect.

  6. Introduce Helm Chart for MongoDB, MongoDBUser and secrets

    Provide a helm chart that deploys MongoDB, MongoDBUser, secrets and all other resources needed.

    The goal is to simplify the deployment of a MongoDB instance and everything that comes with it down to a helm one-liner.

  7. Improve Enterprise Kubernetes Operator PVC expansion

    The enterprise operator should be capable of performing all the steps necessary to increase the PVC after the end-user has adjusted the storage values within the MongoDB custom resource.

    Reference:
    https://www.mongodb.com/docs/kubernetes-operator/stable/tutorial/resize-pv-storage/

    Why is the Operator incapable of doing the steps starting from step 3 by itself if I simply do step 5?

    So what we think should be the case:

    We update the database resource with a new storage value.

    Then should perform the following steps:

    • Patch each persistence volume which can be found in the sts / pod spec.
    • Remove the sts with --orphan because the name should be…

  10. adminCredentials secret should always be source of truth for OpsManager

    The secret is only taken into account by OpsManager initially when OpsManager is deployed. As soon as the password of this user is changed in OpsManager, this secret is out of sync.

    From the docs: "Use these credentials to log in to Ops Manager for the first time. Once Ops Manager is deployed, you should change the password or remove this secret."
    https://docs.mongodb.com/kubernetes-operator/v1.4/tutorial/plan-om-resource/#prerequisites

    Option 1: This secret should be in-sync with the OpsManager database. Preferably the sync should be from the k8s secret to the OpsManager database.

    Option 2: Create a CRD "MongoDBOpsManagerUser" that handles User/Password management for OpsManager similar…

  13. Rotate mongo logs

    When cluster is deployed, each mongo server start to generate a logfile "/var/log/mongodb-mms-automation/mongodb.log", we got an outage because it gets the disk full.
    It will be useful if we can specify a value to rotate and purge the log.

  14. Kubernetes Operator - Prefix Annotations and Labels

    Labels and annotations added to Kubernetes resources by the MongoDB Enterprise Operator should include a prefix designating that it was added by MongoDB. The lack of a prefix suggests the field and values are private to the user.

    For example, the MongoDB statefulset and service selector should use a label prefixed with a MongoDB domain.

    We're gradually starting to change things to prefix most annotations and labels with mdb.


    It's a gradual thing but in progress.

  15. Ops Manager and Backup infrastracture Disaster Recovery support with K8s Operator

    We have carried out tests with MongoDB v1.5.5 K8s Operator and Ops Manager 4.2.18 with Backup infrastructure (S3 Snapshots) in an Openshift 3.11 environment (MongoDB Support case attached).

    In this case, a "Disaster Recovery" simulation has been carried out. However, several components created by the Operator had to be restored to obtain a similar state to the one before the "disaster".

    Furthermore, it is very likely that the S3 Snapshots will be lost if the process is not completed in a certain manner.

    It would be great to have an official approach to deploy/restore an OM resource using MongoDB K8s…

    There is no current supported mechanism for backing up Ops Manager in a way that guarantees the data. As Ops Manager is itself a backup tool, it's challenging to maintain the integrity of the data in DR scenarios.


    For this reason we recommend multi-site high availability for OM and AppDB. This is already possible when running OM on hardware of in VMs, but not currently supported in Kubernetes (unless a Kubernetes cluster is spanning sites).


    Later this year (2023) we hope to support OM deployments across multiple Kubernetes clusters - as we already support (in beta) for Replica Sets (full release in April 2023 with Sharded cluster support in May/June 2023). Doing so will reduce the criticality of a OM/AppDB backup solution within Kubernetes.

  18. Allow the services port name prefix customization in Enterprise Kubernetes Operator to support Istio Sidecar requisites

    Istio Sidecar requires services port name prefix with a protocol name, but the services port names created by the Enterprise Kubernetes Operator are not customizable (e.g.)

    • operator-webhook
    • ops-manager-backup-daemon-svc
    • ops-manager-db-svc
    • ops-manager-svc

    It may be possible to allow the customization of these names?

  19. Allow disabling Blockstore for assignment through the Ops Manager CRD

    By default, when enabling backups and configuring a Blockstore for an Ops Manager custom object, the specified Blockstore will be set as "Assignment enabled" in the UI.

    It would be helpful to expose the enable/disable button for the blockstore through the CRD since disabling it through the UI, results in the parameter being reverted every time the operator consolidates. This is useful for the case when more than a single store is configured and as a user you would like to disable the blockstore to make it unavailable for new backup jobs.
