  1. Reconciliation resources flag improvement

    atlas-reconciliation-policy=skip flag provide ability do not sync k8s object status with atlas. But in case when we need to make reference on objects in Atlas (Aka project) and do not create or modify this resource - this flag not very useful nothing. In this case i would be good if
    - or operator sync object from API to k8s resources ( grub id by name so k8s resource will be valid )
    - or at least provide opportunity to set id ( for new resources with atlas-reconciliation-policy=skip set by default )
    Aka:

  2. Migration Guide for OpsManager to enterprise-operator

    It would be great to have a migration guide or documentation to help with migrating an existing OpsManager installation to the kubernetes enterprise-operator based installation.

  3. Add ability to create user credentials in different namespace then mongo cluster

    As the title states. I am creating my mongo cluster in a different namespace then my application, however because k8s does not allow sharing secrets between namespaces it is impossible to access the credentials.

    I suggest adding a namespace field inside of the users definition to allow the creation of the secret in another namespace.

  4. MongoDB kubernetes operator - follow recommended kubernetes object labeling -

    Hi, i would like to thank you first for this operator, good job 👍 . It works well.

    Did you consider using this label convention for objects (statefulset, svc, secrets) https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/common-labels/?

    Currently in my cluster Im trying to follow these recommended labels for objects while Im forwarding kubernetes logs using EFK but cannot store log to elasticsearch because there is object mapping for kubernetes.labels.app field as object not a concrete value. Right now there is hard-coded service selector https://github.com/mongodb/mongodb-kubernetes-operator/blob/1aa7093d2cc977bc3b1f5a5fa7e1e902d37768c8/controllers/replica_set_controller.go#L455 which expects pods to be labeled with app=<serviceName>

    Example labels following conventions for statefulset:

    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: StatefulSet
    metadata:
      labels:

  5. Add ability to configure Pod Distruption Budget for STS

    During maintenance work EKS admins may need to evict nodes. This should not cause outage for MongoDB cluster/replicaset running on these nodes. we can create manually PDB for STS, but it would be nice to have an option to do it as part of MongoDB Kubernetes Operator.

  6. MongoDB Operator Deployment Env Variables Push Down

    This is a feature request to have custom environment variables, configured in the MongoDB Operator's Deployment manifest, push down or propagate to all resources created by the Operator.

    For example, it may be desired to add environment variables with context. A more specific example could include setting a TZ timezone environment variable that is automatically added to all pod containers created by the Operator.

  7. Allow to pin specific MongoDB Agent version to be used

    What is the problem that needs to be solved? In some rare situations where upgrade of Cloud Manager's MongoDB Agent to the latest version leads to Golang panic (or any other critical issue) there's no way for Cloud Manager user to rollback MongoDB Agent version in case if this environment is running in Kubernetes Operator. The script which launch MongoDB Agent is using the latest version from Cloud Manager Project, without any option to change it other then editing the script itself which is not possible in Kubernetes pod.

    Why is it a problem? (the pain) If after Cloud Manager's…

    We're currently planning work to avoid pulling mongod and the agent from Ops Manager. This is expected to give the ability to manually control the version of the agent in use.

  8. monitoring opt

    Allow to configure startupOptions for monitoring/backup agent logs in yaml for deployments. Similar as we have for AppDB - spec.applicationDatabase.monitoringAgent.startupOptions

  9. Enable external-dns integration via per-service annotations on each generated service

    Currently the MongoDB Kubernetes Operator allows specification of annotations on services created by the operator, but only annotations with the same value across all services. The external-dns operator can create DNS names based on annotations on services. In order to support external-dns integration the MongoDB Kubernetes Operator would need to allow one to specify specific annotations for each generated service.

    Current spec for external access services:
    externalAccess:
    externalService:
    annotations:
    # Same annotations will be applied on all services

    You could consider a placeholder/substitution scheme like:
    externalAccess:
    externalService:
    annotations:
    external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: mydb-db-<instance number>.mydns.com

    Or some other way of assigning a per-service annotation…

  10. There have been at least a few issues on Kubernetes Community Operator related to PVC expansion, yet this is not documented anywhere.

    There have been at least a few issues on Kubernetes Community Operator related to PVC expansion, yet this is not documented anywhere.

    Looking at closed issues, one may get an idea that this operation is impossible, but with the latest CSI it should be - it requires some handcrafting. On the other side Enterprise operator has this covered here - https://www.mongodb.com/docs/kubernetes-operator/stable/tutorial/resize-pv-storage/. I suggest writing similar how-to for the Community operator.
    My currently tested workflow for volume expansion is similar to this explained on the page above, but as for my knowledge Community operator doesn't allow this operation - as…

  12. Timeline on Server internal authentication via Keyfile

    Hi Operator team,

    The K8s operator community edition README mentions the feature Server internal authentication via keyfile is in progress. My team is hoping to use this feature on our current project and wanted to ask what the timeline is for this. Is it likely to be included in the next release, and if so when is that release? Thanks!

  13. EmptyDir as data-volume and log-volume

    spec:
    members: 1
    type: ReplicaSet
    version: "4.4.5"
    statefulSet:
    spec:
    template:
    spec:
    volumes:
    - name: data-volume
    emptyDir: {}
    - name: log-volume
    emptyDir: {}

    This type of override would be very helpful for automated testing pipelines - pipeline should spin up single mongodb instance, populates data and proceed with application testing. For that, we don't need persistent volumes, we need clear folder on each invocation.

  15. Enable S3 Snapshot Storage via Kubernetes Operator with IAM role

    Configuring an S3 Snapshot Storage with IAM roles is only possible via Ops Manager UI or API.

    It would be great to be able to do this configuration via the MongoDB Kubernetes Operator.

  16. Provide support to update version manifest to Ops Manager that uses local mode

    With Ops Manager Local Mode on Kubernetes, the version manifest is required to be updated manually via UI or API.

    It would be the best practice to support updating version manifest using a command to the Operator or OM Pods.

  17. Add ability to have systemLog redirected to stdout (just have to remove systemLog.destination and path)

    To be able to have MongoDB logs redirect to stdout and this having it into GKE CloudLogs, we should NOT configure a systemLog.destination nor a systemLog.path.

    In 0.6.0 release, systemLog.destination and path are hardcoded and cannot be nullable.

    see automationconfigbuilder.go at line 208:

    ...
    process.SetSystemLog(SystemLog{
    Destination: "file",
    Path: path.Join(DefaultAgentLogPath, "/mongodb.log"),
    })
    ...

  19. Assignment labels in YAML for Snapshot storage

    Currently, if you want to assign a snapshot store to a certain project, it is required to access the Admin view and configure the "Assignment Labels" property under Backup > Snapshot Storage with the name of the corresponding project.

    AFAIK, it is not possible to assign this configuration in the Ops Manager's YAML. E.g.:

    s3Stores:
    - mongodbResourceRef:
        name: s3-metadata-db
      mongodbUserRef:
        name: s3-meta-store-user
      name: s3store1
      pathStyleAccessEnabled: false
      s3BucketEndpoint: endpoint1.corp
      s3BucketName: backup1-bucket
      s3SecretRef:
        name: s3-credentials
    - mongodbResourceRef:
        name: s3-metadata-db
      mongodbUserRef:
        name: s3-meta-store-user
      name: s3store2
      pathStyleAccessEnabled: false
      s3BucketEndpoint: backup2.corp
      s3BucketName: backup2-bucket
      s3SecretRef:
        name: second-credentials
