  1. Manage the MongoDB Agent functions using the operator

    Currently, the operator does not enable backup function for AppDB, but it does enable monitoring. For everything else (non-AppDB) the operator does enable the Backup and Monitoring functions, even if backup is not configured

    At the moment none of these functions are configurable with the Operator. The only method to disable the Backup or Monitoring function is through the Ops Manager UI.

    Requesting the ability to manage the functions through the operator.

    AppDB is automatically monitored by Ops Manager when installed via the Enterprise Operator. 


    But backup of AppDB is not available via Ops Manager. There is no official backup and restore mechanism for Ops Manager as preserving the data integrity is not ensured. Instead we recommend running Ops Manager will high availability and resilience. This can be done on VMs and will soon be available via the Operator.

  2. Ability to create a single one-off snapshot at a precise time

    A customer would like the ability to create a snapshot "right now", and mark it to be preserved.
    The scenario is for a system being upgraded or changed or for auditing purposes. The benefits are:

    • the ability to restore this PIT is longer than the default 24 hours.
    • recovering the snapshot is quick because no oplogs have to be replayed.
    • auditing purpose if you are in a vertical for which it is required.

  3. Terraform module for Ops Manager

    Since Ops Manager APIs seem to be very similar (if not, the same) as Atlas API, and since Atlas Terraform modules seem to run based on Atlas API, it would be very nice to have Terraform modules for Ops Manager.

  4. Kubernetes Operator: Ops Manager backup infrastructure automated removal

    MongoDB Kubernetes Operator can manage OpsManager Resources including Backup infrastructure.
    When Users want to disable backup infrastructure, the Operator does not remove BackupDeamon Stateful set or disables the backup configuration.
    This request is to make Operator clean up Backup configuration for OpsManager and delete K8S resources as well reconfigure OpsManager

    Some users may want them to remain around in case they decide to re-enable backup. Since deletion and creation take time, users can manually delete these is they need to.

    Unfortunately this isn't viable. Including the AppDB configuration in the Ops Manager CRD already adds to the complexity and the AppDB options are deliberately quite simple. AppDB is also not a MongoDB CR, whereas BlockStore  and OplogStores  are as they need more configuration.


    We are going to be looking into making backup easier to setup, but this won't be the way we achieve it.

  7. Migrating existing deployments to MongoDB Kubernetes Operator

    Hello,
    Is there a way to migrate existing non-kubernetes MongoDB clusters to MongoDB Kubernetes Operator?

    The recommendation is migration of the data from a non-Kubernetes deployment to a newly created Kubernetes deployment. 


    For now there is no more automated way planned.

  8. Manage indexes creation and sharding of collections in a GitOps way

    We're developing a Microservices-based product that is based on MongoDB and Kafka. In this context, we're currently aiming at implementing most of our DevOps-related activities in a GitOps way. Setup, rolling upgrades and scaling the number of replicas can be achieved with the Operator today, but it would be great also if activities like index creation and sharding of collections could be done via the Operator.

    A similar approach has been taken for Kafka, where cluster installation, rolling upgrades and scaling out is handed by the operator (Strimzi), but also topic management: https://strimzi.io/docs/operators/latest/overview.html#overview-concepts-topic-operator-str

    We have developed an internal tool to…

    For now at least we don't offer management of the MongoDB data plane via the Enterprise Operator. 


    We may reconsider this stance based on ongoing customer feedback.

  9. Pin versions for all images in values file

    currently for release 1.9.0, the helm chart has no way to explicitly use a specific version of the following images:
    - mongodb-enterprise-ops-manager
    - mongodb-enterprise-appdb

    This is not ideal and hard to scale in the enterprise. Request the ability to pin versions to all images from values file.

    we can’t pin them as a user choice of Ops Manager would require different tags to be pulled.
    OpsManager Version will choose the tag of an image we are going to pull.

  10. Ops Manager LDAP Auth using kubernetes manifest

    Currently, there is no way to enable LDAP Auth for the Ops Manager Users on my kubernetes Ops Manager pods using manifests.

    This essentially means that one would not be able to use LDAP and ci/cd simultaneously with Ops Manager with the enterprise kubernetes operator.

    Mongodb enterprise support has confirmed that in the event of disaster recovery or a deployment of a new cluster, manual steps must be done to enable LDAP during a ci/cd deployment.

    It should not be expected to sign in and manually do anything in a web gui in an enterprise solution. It is simply not…

  11. Have the MongoDB operator support k8s route sharing for connecting to replicas to simplify network and not use nodeport

    It's still very new and only kube-router is the only "free" one that supports it. But this is great simplify the network configurations to connect to replicas and shards.

    Route Sharing is currently supported on Red Hat OpenShift 4.4+

    We currently support nodeport and load balancer but have no plans to extend that due to the current lack of customer interest.

  12. operator should watch * namespace by default

    So that way multiple projects can leverage the single operator to provision mongodb. https://github.com/mongodb/mongodb-enterprise-kubernetes/issues/164

    Setting it to watch all namespaces by default may result in conflicts and unexpected behaviour in environments where more than one instance of the Operator is running. 


    As a result, it's safer to default to one namespace and allow users to manually chose all or many.

  13. add support for "podManagementPolicy" in the MongoDB and Ops Manager CR

    In order to speed up deployments, please add support for "podManagementPolicy" in the MongoDB and Ops Manager CR to allow parallel pod deployment of Statefulsets.
