Modify the settings of the specified cluster.

You can specify modifications in a JSON configuration file with the --file flag.

You can't change the name of the cluster or downgrade the MongoDB version of your cluster.

You can only update a replica set to a single-shard cluster; you cannot update a replica set to a multi-sharded cluster. To learn more, see https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/scale-cluster/#convert-a-replica-set-to-a-sharded-cluster and https://www.mongodb.com/docs/upcoming/tutorial/convert-replica-set-to-replicated-shard-cluster.

To use this command, you must authenticate with a user account or an API key with the Project Cluster Manager role. Atlas supports this command only for M10+ clusters
