Atlas for Government

You can use the Atlas Kubernetes Operator to manage resources in Atlas for Government. The Atlas Kubernetes Operator supports managing Atlas for Government only on AWS. It doesn't support Atlas Data Federation and Serverless deployments. To learn more, see Supported Features in the MongoDB Atlas for Government documentation.

The Configure Atlas Kubernetes Operator for Atlas for Government page describes how to configure Atlas Kubernetes Operator to manage resources in Atlas for Government.

Independent Custom Resource Definitions

You can use Atlas Kubernetes Operator to manage specific resources within an Atlas project without configuring Atlas Kubernetes Operator to manage the project itself. This allows you to use different programmatic infrastructure management systems for your projects, while you use Atlas Kubernetes Operator to manage more frequently-altered resources such as database users or individual deployments.

To learn more, see Independent Custom Resource Definitions.

Compatibility

Atlas Kubernetes Operator is compatible with specific versions of Kubernetes and OpenShift. Kubernetes nodes must be running processors with the x86-64, AMD64, or ARM64 architecture.
