Deploy a Standalone MongoDB Instance
On this page
You can deploy a standalone MongoDB instance for Ops Manager to manage. Use standalone instances for testing and development. Do not use these deployments for production systems as they lack replication and high availability. For all production deployments use replica sets. To learn about replica sets, see Deploy a Replica Set.
Note
Added in Ops Manager 4.0
You can use Kubernetes to deploy MongoDB instances with Ops Manager version 4.0 or later.
To learn how to deploy a standalone using a Kubernetes object, see Deploy a Standalone in the MongoDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator documentation.
Prerequisites
You must provision a server before deploying a standalone MongoDB instance. For testing purposes, you can use your localhost.
