Create a MongoDB cluster for your project.
You can create MongoDB clusters using this command. To quickest way to get started is to just specify a name for your cluster and cloud provider and region to deploy, this will create a 3 member replica set with the latest available mongodb server version available. Some of the cluster configuration options are available via flags but for full control of your deployment you can provide a config file.
