Set Up a MongoDB Cluster
You can add a MongoDB cluster on any of the following editions: Playground, Business, or Enterprise.
Create a Cluster
To create a MongoDB cluster, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the DCD with your username and password.
2. Go to Menu > Databases > MongoDB.

2. In the MongoDB cluster overview window, click Create cluster to create a new MongoDB cluster.
3. Specify the following in the Properties section:
Provide an appropriate Cluster Name.
From the drop-down list, choose a Location where your data for the database cluster can be stored. You can select an available data center within the cluster's data directory to create your cluster.
Select the appropriate MongoDB Version. The IONOS Database Manager supports MongoDB versions 6.0 and 7.0.

4. Choose an Edition.
In the Playground edition, the following standard resources are available:
RAM Size (GB): 2.
vCPU: 1.
Storage Size: 50 GB.

5. Configure your cluster in the Cluster configuration section.
Database type: It is set to Replica Set, by default. This database type maintains replicas of data sets and offers redundancy and high data availability.
Instances: By default, one instance is offered for free in this edition to host a logical database manager environment to catalog your databases.

6. Upon selecting Enterprise edition, you can choose from the following in the Resources section.
Number of CPUs (per instance): You can choose between 1 and 31 CPU cores using the slider or choose from the available shortcut values.
RAM Size (per instance): Values of up to 230 GB RAM sizes are possible. Select the RAM size using the slider or choose from the available shortcut values.
Storage Type: The SSD Premium, SSD Standard, or HDD storage options are available.
Storage Size: Set the storage size value to at least 100 GB in case of SSD Standard and Premium storage types for optimal performance of the database cluster. You can configure the storage size to a maximum of 4 TB.

7. In the Network configuration section, set up the following:
Datacenter: Select a data center from the drop-down list.
Datacenter LAN: Select a LAN for the chosen data center. The drop-down list shows all the available private LANs.
IP/Subnet: Enter the private IP or subnet address in the correct format by using the available Private IPs. For Business and Enterprise editions, specify one private IP/Subnet address detail for every instance based on the chosen number of Instances.

8. In the Maintenance period (optional) section, set the following:
Day: From the drop-down list, choose the preferred day on which the maintenance of the cluster must take place.
Start Time (UTC): Set the time (in UTC) for the maintenance of the MongoDB cluster. Use the pre-defined format (hh:mm:ss) or you can use the clock. The maintenance occurs in a 4-hour-long window.

9. Click Save to provision the creation of the MongoDB cluster.
Result: The MongoDB cluster with the chosen edition is created.
