MongoDB and HashiCorp Terraform

MongoDB Atlas is a fully managed cloud database service that simplifies deploying, managing, and scaling MongoDB.

HashiCorp provides open-source tools and commercial products for infrastructure automation, focusing on cloud provisioning, security, networking, and application deployment, including HashiCorp Terraform.

HashiCorp Terraform is a tool that provides a foundation for cloud infrastructure automation using infrastructure as code for provisioning and compliance in the cloud operating model. Operators can easily provision and manage any infrastructure with one workflow and on-demand using a library of approved infrastructure modules. Terraform is offered both as an open source and enterprise solution, with the enterprise product building on the open source to address organizational challenges and complexity.

The Terraform MongoDB Atlas Provider makes it easy to deploy, update, and manage Atlas configurations as code through Terraform. With the Terraform plugin for Atlas, DevOps teams can simplify data infrastructure management and control the use of Atlas across the organization. Developers can quickly and easily deploy standardized clusters in testing, QA, and production environments.

Yes, users will first need to import existing resources into their Terraform scripts.

The Terraform MongoDB Atlas Provider supports almost all resources of the Atlas Admin API, including deploying shared-tier, dedicated, and serverless clusters, creating private endpoints, creating cloud backups, and alert configurations. For a complete list, see Terraform Docs.
