This document provides an overview and introduction to MongoDB Atlas, which is MongoDB's database as a service offering. Some key points:
- MongoDB Atlas allows users to run MongoDB in a fully managed, cloud-based environment without having to manage infrastructure themselves.
- It offers global availability across 14 AWS regions, high availability across availability zones, security by default, comprehensive monitoring, and managed backups.
- Using MongoDB Atlas reduces the total cost of ownership compared to self-managed deployments and accelerates time to value by removing the operational overhead of database management.
- Features include cross-region replication for disaster recovery, security isolation using VPC peering on AWS, encryption of data both in-flight and at-rest

Cross-region replication
● Ensure uptime in the unlikely event of a multi-zone or
total region outage
● Get improved performance for local reads by
geographically distributing read-only replica set
members that do not participate in the failover process
● Available for Atlas deployments running on dedicated
instances in AWS, Azure, or GCP
13. 13
Secure in the cloud
All MongoDB Atlas nodes are single-tenant and deployed into their own
VPC for security isolation.
VPC Peering is available between AWS VPCs in the same AWS region.
In-flight security:
● TLS/SSL for in-flight data encryption
● Authentication and authorization access controls with SCRAM
● IP whitelists
At-rest security:
● Encrypted storage volumes
14. 14
Highly available, even while scaling
● A minimum of three data nodes per replica set/shard
are automatically deployed across zones for high
availability
● If your primary node does go down for any reason, the
self healing recovery process in MongoDB Atlas will
typically occur in under 2 seconds

Live migration
Migrate existing deployments running anywhere into MongoDB
Atlas with minimal impact to your application. Live migration
works by:
● Performing a sync between your source database and a
target database hosted in MongoDB Atlas
● Syncing live data between your source database and the
target database by tailing the oplog
● Notifying you when its time to cut over to the MongoDB
Atlas cluster
