Upgrade the MongoDB Version

DBaaS supports MongoDB versions 6.0 and 7.0. At IONOS, we ensure that the MongoDB patch is up-to-date with the latest release for its current major version. Major version upgrades can be triggered manually, resulting in a brief cluster downtime.

Note: To get the list of all available MongoDB versions, use API.

curl --include \
    --user "[email protected]:Mb2.r5oHf-0t" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    https://api.ionos.com/databases/mongodb/versions

To see which MongoDB Versions are supported for your cluster, use the following request:

curl --include \
    --user "[email protected]:Mb2.r5oHf-0t" \
    --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
    https://api.ionos.com/databases/mongodb/clusters/d02de413-d5af-4104-a6f9-3a3c2766ee61/versions

For more information, see API.

To set a new MongoDB major version, send a PATCH request with the target mongoDBVersion.

Note:

• You cannot downgrade mongoDBVersion to a version older than your current version.

• MongoDB does not allow upgrading more than one version at a time. It is possible to trigger multiple major upgrades after one another sequentially, but it is not recommended.

• A cluster can only be restored from snapshots created for the same or the previous major version. It can lead to a situation where you can only restore from the last snapshot created directly before the upgrade when performing multiple upgrades in a row.
