Production Ready Private Cloud Templates

About MongoDB

MongoDB is open source, document based, database, also classified as “NoSQL”. It utilizes JSON-like structure, making it easy to store entire documents rather than the rows and tables of data compared to relational database. MongoDB solution on Rackspace Private Cloud provides a great general-purpose platform for applications that require large and robust NoSQL database implementation.

Our MongoDB Architecture

The RPC MongoDB solution provides a best practice architecture and solution for running mid-size to large MongoDB clusters configured to run on a typical Private Cloud configuration. Our MongoDB architecture is designed to provide a resilient database to store your content in a Private Cloud. We have optimized every component of the stack for cloud infrastructure. With a deployment driven by OpenStack Orchestration (heat) and Salt configuration management, we are able to deliver MongoDB cluster as a repeatable, scalable, production-ready deployment.

Design Specifications

  • Uses MongoDB salt-formulas to configure the servers. Three instances will be Mongo configuration servers, at least two Mongo routing (mongos) servers, and at least three MongoDB shards in a replica set. Each replica set created becomes a shard for databases to spread across.

  • For access to nodes in the MongoDB cluster, either a floating IP address is assigned to the salt-master, or a new server is created in the same network as the MongoDB network. Additionally, mongos are also on a separate network so that applications can access your database cluster without being on the same network.

  • Changes to the MongoDB configuration can be done using Salt pillars on the Salt master. Adding additional mongos nodes can also be done using Salt.
