| 18 | +What is an Operator? |
| 19 | +-------------------- |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +An operator is a standard mechanism that extends the control plane of |
| 22 | +|k8s| to managing custom |k8s| resources. Because each operator is |
| 23 | +built for its own Custom Resources (CRs), it can contain logic that |
| 24 | +addresses the type of service that the operator is built for. For the |
| 25 | +|k8s-op-short|, the operator includes the logic for the deployment of |
| 26 | +MongoDB Server and Ops Manager instances. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Each CR used by the |k8s-op-short| represents an element of a MongoDB |
| 29 | +Server deployment in |k8s|, and has options for customizing that part |
| 30 | +of the deployment. Once you configure these objects in the |k8s| |
| 31 | +deployment, the operator builds native |k8s| objects, such as Stateful |
| 32 | +Sets that are necessary to create Pods according to your specified |
| 33 | +requirements for MongoDB Servers. The operator also facilitates |
| 34 | +configuration of MongoDB Server features, such as database backups, |
| 35 | +through interaction with |cloud| or |onprem|. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Why should I run MongoDB Server and MongoDB Enterprise Advanced in |k8s|? |
| 38 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +When you deploy MongoDB Server or MongoDB Enterprise Advanced in |k8s| |
| 41 | +through the |k8s-op-full|, your deployments can benefit from the |
| 42 | +resilience and simple orchestration that |k8s| provides. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +The only supported way to deploy MongoDB Enterprise Advanced in |k8s| is |
| 45 | +through the |k8s-op-full|. The |k8s-op-full| simplifies your daily |
| 46 | +workflows and makes it easier for MongoDB technical support staff to |
| 47 | +assist you when needed. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +Which |k8s| platforms are supported for MongoDB Server deployments? |
| 50 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +MongoDB Server supports any platform that builds upon native |k8s| |
| 53 | +without changing the default logic or behavior. In practice, this means |
| 54 | +that MongoDB Server supports any |k8s| platform |
| 55 | +`certified by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation <https://www.cncf.io/certification/software-conformance/>`_. |
| 56 | +To learn more, see |
| 57 | +:ref:`MongoDB Kubernetes Operator Compatibility <k8s-compatibility>`. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +How many deployments can |k8s-op-full| support? |
| 60 | +----------------------------------------------- |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +|k8s-op-short| can support up to 50 deployments. However, changes made |
| 63 | +to large numbers of deployments at the same time result in long |
| 64 | +reconciliation times. To avoid prolonged reconciliation times, limit a |
| 65 | +given |k8s-op-short| instance to 20 deployments. To learn more, |
| 66 | +see the :ref:`production notes <deploy_recommended-number-sets>`. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Should I run MongoDB Server in |k8s| in the same cluster as the application using it? |
| 69 | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +To help minimize latency, consider colocating your database and |
| 72 | +applications on the same |k8s| cluster if your deployment architecture |
| 73 | +allows this. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +Can I deploy MongoDB Server across multiple |k8s| clusters? |
| 76 | +----------------------------------------------------------- |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +This feature is available in Beta releases, as described in |
| 79 | +:ref:`Deploy MongoDB Resources on Multiple Kubernetes Clusters <multi-cluster>`. |
