Create One Cluster¶

Note

Groups and projects are synonymous terms. Your {GROUP-ID} is the same as your project ID. For existing groups, your group/project ID remains the same. The resource and corresponding endpoints use the term groups.

Note

This feature is not available for M0 (Free Tier) clusters. For more information, see Atlas M0 (Free Tier) Limitations.

The Atlas API authenticates using HTTP Digest Authentication. Provide a programmatic API public key and corresponding private key as the username and password when constructing the HTTP request.

To learn how to configure API access for an Atlas project, see Configure Atlas API Access.

Considerations¶

For a given region in an Atlas project with multi-region clusters or clusters in multiple regions, there is a limit of 40 MongoDB nodes on all other regions in that project. This limit applies across all cloud service providers and can be raised upon request. GCP regions communicating with each other do not count against this limit.
Example
If an Atlas project has:
- 30 nodes in Region A
- 10 nodes in Region B
- 5 nodes in Region C
You can no longer add any nodes to your project in Region A or Region B. This is because the nodes in those clusters add up to 40, which is the maximum allowed per project. You can add up to 5 nodes in Region C while still satisfying the project limit.
This limit applies even if Regions A, B, and C are backed by different cloud service providers.For Atlas projects where every cluster is deployed to a single region, you cannot create a multi-region cluster in that project if there are already 40 or more nodes in that single region unless you request that the limit be raised.Please contact Atlas support for questions or assistance with raising this limit.
If your Atlas project contains a custom role that uses actions introduced in a specific MongoDB version, you must delete that role before creating clusters with an earlier MongoDB version.
Atlas clusters created after July 2020 use Transport Layer Security (TLS ) protocol version 1.2 by default.
When you create a cluster, Atlas creates a network container in the project for the cloud provider to which you deploy the cluster if one does not already exist.

Required Roles¶

To use this resource, your API Key must have either the Organization Owner or Project Owner roles.

Optional

Flag that indicates whether cluster tier auto-scaling is enabled. The default is false.

Set to true to enable cluster tier auto-scaling. If enabled, you must specify a value for providerSettings.autoScaling.compute.maxInstanceSize.
Set to false to disable cluster tier auto-scaling.

autoScaling.compute.scaleDownEnabled

boolean

Conditional

Flag that indicates whether the cluster tier may scale down. Atlas requires this parameter if "autoScaling.compute.enabled" : true.

If you enable this option, specify a value for providerSettings.autoScaling.compute.minInstanceSize.

autoScaling.diskGBEnabled

boolean

Optional

Flag that indicates whether disk auto-scaling is enabled. The default is true.

Set to true to enable disk auto-scaling.
Set to false to disable disk auto-scaling.

Disk auto-scaling is subject to limitations based on the maximum amount of RAM for the selected cluster tier and the oplog size. See Customize Your Storage for details.

backupEnabled

boolean

Optional

Flag that indicates whether legacy backups have been enabled.

Applicable only for M10+ clusters.

Important

Clusters running MongoDB FCV 4.2 or later and any new Atlas clusters of any type do not support this parameter. These clusters must use Cloud Backups: providerBackupEnabled

If you create a new Atlas cluster and set "backupEnabled" : true, the API responds with an error.

This change doesn't affect existing clusters that use legacy backups.

Set to true to enable Atlas legacy backups for the cluster.

Set to false to disable legacy backups for the cluster. Atlas deletes any stored snapshots.

To learn more about snapshot storage, see the legacy backup Snapshot Schedule.

You can't enable legacy backups if you have an existing cluster in the project with Cloud Backups enabled.

The default value is false.

biConnector

object

Optional

Configuration of BI Connector for Atlas on this cluster.

The MongoDB Connector for Business Intelligence for Atlas (BI Connector) is only available for M10 and larger clusters.

The BI Connector is a powerful tool which provides users SQL-based access to their MongoDB databases. As a result, the BI Connector performs operations which may be CPU and memory intensive. Given the limited hardware resources on M10 and M20 cluster tiers, you may experience performance degradation of the cluster when enabling the BI Connector. If this occurs, upgrade to an M30 or larger cluster or disable the BI Connector.

biConnector.enabled

boolean

Optional

Flag that indicates whether or not BI Connector for Atlas is enabled on the cluster.

Set to true to enable BI Connector for Atlas.
Set to false to disable BI Connector for Atlas.

biConnector.readPreference

string

Optional

Source from which the BI Connector for Atlas reads data. Each BI Connector for Atlas read preference contains a distinct combination of readPreference and readPreferenceTags options.

Tip

See Also:

BI Connector Read Preferences Table.

Value	Description
primary	BI Connector for Atlas reads data from the primary.
secondary	BI Connector for Atlas reads data from a secondary. The preference defaults to this value if there are no analytics nodes in the cluster.
analytics	BI Connector for Atlas reads data from an analytics node. Default if the cluster contains analytics nodes.

Note

To set the readPreference value to "analytics", the cluster must have at least one analytics node.

If the readPreference value is "analytics", you cannot remove all analytics nodes from the cluster.

clusterType

string

Conditional

Type of the cluster that you want to create.

Note

When should you use clusterType?

Condition	Necessity
You set replicationSpecs.	Required
You are deploying Global Clusters.	Required

Atlas accepts:

Value	Cluster Type
REPLICASET	replica set
SHARDED	sharded cluster
GEOSHARDED	global cluster

diskSizeGB

number

Conditional

Capacity, in gigabytes, of the host's root volume. Increase this number to add capacity, up to a maximum possible value of 4096 (i.e., 4 TB). This value must be a positive integer.

Note

When should you use diskSizeGB?

This setting:

Cannot be used with clusters with local NVMe SSDs.
Cannot be used with Azure clusters. Use providerSettings.diskTypeName instead.
Must be used when replicationSpecs is set.

The minimum disk size for dedicated clusters is 10 GB for AWS and GCP . If you specify diskSizeGB with a lower disk size, Atlas defaults to the minimum disk size value.

Important

Atlas calculates storage charges differently depending on whether you choose the default value or a custom value.

Tip

See Also:

Storage Capacity.

Note

The maximum value for disk storage cannot exceed 50 times the maximum RAM for the selected cluster. If you require additional storage space beyond this limitation, consider upgrading your cluster to a higher tier.

encryptionAtRestProvider

string

Optional

Cloud service provider that offers Encryption at Rest.

Specify AWS to enable Encryption at Rest using the Atlas project AWS Key Management System settings. The cluster must meet the following requirements:

Parameter	Requirement
providerSettings.instanceSizeName	`M10` or greater
backupEnabled	false or omitted

You must configure encryption at rest for the Atlas project before enabling it on any cluster in the project.

Tip

See Also:

labels

array of objects

Optional

Collection of key-value pairs that tag and categorize the cluster.

Each key and value has a maximum length of 255 characters.

"labels": [
   {
     "key": "example key",
     "value": "example value"
   }
 ]

Note

The Atlas console doesn't display your labels. Atlas returns them in the response body when you use the Atlas API to

get one Atlas cluster
get all Atlas clusters
modify a Atlas cluster

mongoDBMajorVersion

string

Optional

Version of the cluster to deploy. Atlas supports the following MongoDB versions for M10+ clusters:

3.6
4.0
4.2
4.4

You must set this value to 4.4 if "providerSettings.instanceSizeName" : "M2" or "M5".

Note

MongoDB 4.4 on Shared Tier Clusters

You can deploy MongoDB 4.4 in Atlas free and shared-tier clusters (M0, M2 and M5) only in AWS region us-east-1.

Atlas always deploys the cluster with the latest stable release of the specified version. You can upgrade to a newer version of MongoDB when you modify a cluster.

name string Required Name of the cluster as it appears in Atlas. After Atlas creates the cluster, you can't change its name.

numShards

number

Conditional

Positive integer that specifies the number of shards to deploy for a sharded cluster.

Important

If you use the replicationSpecs parameter, you must set numShards.

Atlas accepts 1 through 50, inclusive. The default value is 1.

If you specify a numShards value of 1 and a clusterType of SHARDED, Atlas deploys a single-shard sharded cluster.
If you specify a numShards value of 1 and a clusterType of REPLICASET, Atlas deploys a replica set.

Note

A sharded cluster with a single shard is not recommended for production environments. Single-shard sharded clusters do not provide the same high availability and horizontal scaling benefits as configurations with multiple shards.

Tip

See Also:

Note

Don't include in the request body for Global Clusters.

pitEnabled

boolean

Optional

Flag that indicates the cluster uses continuous cloud backups.

Set to true to enable continuous cloud backups. Requires that you set providerBackupEnabled to true.
Set to false to disable continuous cloud backups.

providerBackupEnabled

boolean

Optional

Applicable only for M10+ clusters.

Flag that indicates if the cluster uses Cloud Backups for backups.

If true, the cluster uses Cloud Backups for backups.
If "providerBackupEnabled" : false and "backupEnabled" : false, the cluster doesn't use Atlas backups.

You cannot enable Cloud Backups if you have an existing cluster in the project with Legacy Backups enabled.

Important

You must set this value to true for NVMe clusters.

providerSettings object Required Configuration for the provisioned hosts on which MongoDB runs. The available options are specific to the cloud service provider.

providerSettings.autoScaling

object

Conditional

Range of instance sizes to which your cluster can scale.

Important

You can't specify the providerSettings.autoScaling object if "autoScaling.compute.enabled" : false.

providerSettings.autoScaling.compute object Conditional Range of instance sizes to which your cluster can scale. Atlas requires this parameter if "autoScaling.compute.enabled" : true.

providerSettings.autoScaling.compute.minInstanceSize string Conditional Minimum instance size to which your cluster can automatically scale (such as M10). Atlas requires this parameter if "autoScaling.compute.scaleDownEnabled" : true.

providerSettings.autoScaling.compute.maxInstanceSize string Conditional Maximum instance size to which your cluster can automatically scale (such as M40). Atlas requires this parameter if "autoScaling.compute.enabled" : true.

providerSettings.backingProviderName

string

Conditional

Cloud service provider on which the host for a multi-tenant cluster is provisioned.

This setting only works when "providerSetting.providerName" : "TENANT" and "providerSetting.instanceSizeName" : M2 or M5.

Atlas accepts the following values:

Atlas accepts:

AWS	Amazon AWS
GCP	Google Cloud Platform
AZURE	Microsoft Azure

providerSettings.diskIOPS

number

Conditional

Disk IOPS setting for AWS storage. Set only if you selected AWS as your cloud service provider.

Maximum input/output operations per second (IOPS) the system can perform. The possible values depend on the selected providerSettings.instanceSizeName and diskSizeGB.

This setting requires that providerSettings.instanceSizeName to be M30 or greater and cannot be used with clusters with local NVMe SSDs.

To view the possible range of IOPS values for the selected instance size and storage capacity:

Open the Atlas web interface.
Select Build a New Cluster.
Under Cloud Provider & Region, select AWS.
Under Cloud Provider & Region, select the region corresponding to your configured providerSettings.regionName.
Under Cluster Tier, select the cluster tier corresponding to your configured providerSettings.instanceSizeName.
Under Cluster Tier, set the Storage Capacity slider to your configured diskSizeGB. Alternatively, input the exact value of diskSizeGB in the input box to the right of the slider.

You can see the available IOPS range by checking the Provision IOPS box.

Note

If you set the diskIOPS value to a value higher than the default value for the selected volume size, Atlas automatically sets providerSettings.volumeType to PROVISIONED. If you manually set diskIOPS to the default value, you must specify providerSettings.volumeType to be either PROVISIONED or STANDARD.

The default value for providerSettings.diskIOPS is the same as the cluster tier's Standard IOPS value, as viewable in the Atlas interface.

Changing this value affects the cost of running the cluster as described in the billing documentation.

Atlas enforces the following minimum ratios for given cluster tiers. This keeps cluster performance consistent with large datasets.

Tier	Ratio of Disk Capacity : System Memory
`M10` - `M40`	60:1
=> `M50`	120:1

Example

To support 3 TB (or 3,072 GB) of disk capacity, select a cluster tier with a minimum of 32 GB of RAM. This would be M50 or greater.

providerSettings.diskTypeName

string

Conditional

Type of disk if you selected Azure as your cloud service provider.

Disk type of the server's root volume for Azure instances. If omitted, Atlas uses the default disk type for the selected providerSettings.instanceSizeName.

The following table lists the possible values for this field, and their corresponding storage size.

`diskTypeName`	Storage Size
`P2` ¹	8GB
`P3`	16GB
`P4` ²	32GB
`P6`	64GB

² Default for M20 and M30 Azure clusters

³ Default for M40+ Azure clusters

providerSettings.encryptEBSVolume

boolean

Conditional

Flag that indicates whether the Amazon EBS encryption feature encrypts the host's root volume for both data at rest within the volume and for data moving between the volume and the cluster.

Note

This setting is always enabled for clusters with local NVMe SSDs.

The default value is true.

providerSettings.instanceSizeName

string

Required

Atlas provides different cluster tiers, each with a default storage capacity and RAM size. The cluster you select is used for all the data-bearing hosts in your cluster tier.

² Availability limited to the following regions:

US_EAST_1
US_EAST_2
US_WEST_2
EU_WEST_1
EU_CENTRAL_1
AP_NORTHEAST_1

Atlas supports the following cluster tiers. Atlas supports deploying M2 and M5 tiers into a subset of available regions. The documentation for providersettings.regionName includes a list of these regions.

Note

Cluster Tier Naming Conventions

Cluster tier names that are:

Appended with _NVME (M40_NVME for example) use direct attached NVMe storage for exceptional performance with the most I/O-intensive workloads.
Prepended with R instead of an M (R40 for example) run a low CPU version of the cluster.

Important

M2 and M5 clusters are multi-tenant deployments. You must set providerSettings.providerName to TENANT and specify the cloud service provider in providerSettings.backingProviderName.

providerSettings.providerName

string

Required

Cloud service provider on which Atlas provisions the hosts.

AWS	Amazon AWS
GCP	Google Cloud Platform
AZURE	Microsoft Azure

TENANT

M2 or M5 multi-tenant cluster.

See providerSettings.backingProviderName for the cloud service provider where Atlas provisioned the host serving the cluster.

Important

M2 and M5 clusters are multi-tenant deployments. You must set providerSettings.providerName to TENANT and specify the cloud service provider in providerSettings.backingProviderName.

providerSettings.regionName

string

Conditional

Note

Required if replicationSpecs array is empty

If you haven't set values in the replicationSpecs array, you must set this parameter.

Physical location of your MongoDB cluster. The region you choose can affect network latency for clients accessing your databases.

Don't specify this parameter when creating a multi-region cluster using the replicationSpec object or a Global Cluster with the replicationSpecs array.

During deployment of an M10+ dedicated paid cluster, Atlas creates a VPC for the selected provider and region or regions if no existing VPC or VPC peering connection exists for that provider and region. Atlas assigns the VPC a Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) block.

For clusters deployed on AWS , if you want to create a VPC peering connection to an AWS VPC and require a specific CIDR block for a given region, you must create a VPC connection before deploying the cluster. See Set up a Network Peering Connection for for complete documentation on VPC peering connections.

Important

Multi-region clusters require one VPC peering connection for each region. MongoDB nodes can use only the peering connection that resides in the same region as the nodes to communicate with the peered VPC .

Select your cloud service provider's tab for example cluster region names:

US_EAST_1
US_WEST_2
EU_WEST_1

For a complete list of supported AWS regions, see Amazon Web Services (AWS).

providerSettings.volumeType

string

Conditional

Disk IOPS setting for AWS storage. Set only if you selected AWS as your cloud service provider.

Possible values are:

Volume Type	providerSettings.diskIOPS Value
`STANDARD`	Must not exceed the default IOPS rate for the selected volume size.
`PROVISIONED`	Must fall within the allowable IOPS range for the selected volume size.

replicationFactor

number

Optional

Deprecated.

replicationFactor is deprecated. Use replicationSpecs.

Number of replica set members. Each member keeps a copy of your databases, providing high availability and data redundancy. Atlas accepts 3, 5, or 7. The default value is 3.

Don't specify this parameter when creating a multi-region cluster using the replicationSpec object.

If your cluster is a sharded cluster, each shard is a replica set with the specified replication factor.

Atlas ignores this value if you pass the replicationSpec object.

Tip

See Also:

replicationSpec

object

Optional

Deprecated.

replicationSpec is deprecated. Use replicationSpecs.

Configuration of each region in a multi-region cluster. Each element in this object represents a region where Atlas deploys your cluster.

For single-region clusters, you can either specify the providerSettings.regionName and replicationFactor, or you can use the replicationSpec object to define a single region.

For multi-region clusters, omit the providerSettings.regionName parameter.

For Global Clusters, specify the replicationSpecs parameter rather than a replicationSpec parameter.

Important

If you use replicationSpec, you must specify a minimum of one replicationSpec.<region> object.

Use the replicationSpecs parameter to create a Global Cluster.

Note

You cannot specify both the replicationSpec and replicationSpecs parameters in the same request body.

replicationSpec.<region>

object

Conditional

Important

Use replicationSpecs[n].<region>

replicationSpec.<region> is deprecated. Use replicationSpecs[n].<region>.

Physical location of the region. Replace <region> with the name of the region. Each <region> object describes the region's priority in elections and the number and type of MongoDB nodes Atlas deploys to the region.

Important

If you use replicationSpec, you must specify a minimum of one replicationSpec.<region> object.

Select your cloud service provider's tab for example cluster region names:

US_EAST_1
US_WEST_2
EU_WEST_1

The MongoDB Connector for Business Intelligence for Atlas (BI Connector) is only available for M10 and larger clusters.

The BI Connector is a powerful tool which provides users SQL-based access to their MongoDB databases. As a result, the BI Connector performs operations which may be CPU and memory intensive. Given the limited hardware resources on M10 and M20 cluster tiers, you may experience performance degradation of the cluster when enabling the BI Connector. If this occurs, upgrade to an M30 or larger cluster or disable the BI Connector.

biConnector.enabled boolean Flag that indicates whether Atlas enabled the BI Connector for Atlas for this cluster.

biConnector.readPreference

string

Source from which the BI Connector for Atlas reads data.

Value	Description
primary	BI Connector for Atlas reads data from the primary.
secondary	BI Connector for Atlas reads data from a secondary.
analytics	BI Connector for Atlas reads data from an analytics node.

clusterType

string

Type of the cluster:

Value	Description
REPLICASET	replica set
SHARDED	sharded cluster
GEOSHARDED	global cluster

Important

M2 and M5 clusters are multi-tenant deployments. You must set providerSettings.providerName to TENANT and specify the cloud service provider in providerSettings.backingProviderName.

replicationFactor

number

Number of replica set members. Each member keeps a copy of your databases, providing high availability and data redundancy.

For multi-region clusters, add the total number of replicationSpec.<region>.electableNodes to calculate the replication factor of the cluster.

If your cluster is a sharded cluster, each shard is a replica set with the specified replication factor.

Atlas may return 3, 5, or 7.

Tip

See Also:

replicationSpec object Configuration of each region in the cluster. Each element in this object represents a region where Atlas deploys your cluster.

replicationSpec.<region>

object

Physical location of the region. The <region> string corresponds to a region where Atlas deploys your cluster.

Each <region> object describes the region's priority in elections and the number and type of MongoDB nodes Atlas deploys to the region.

replicationSpec.<region>.analyticsNodes number Number of analytics nodes in the region. Analytics nodes are useful for handling analytic data such as reporting queries from BI Connector for Atlas. Analytics nodes are read-only, and can never become the primary.

replicationSpec.<region>.electableNodes number Number of electable nodes in the region. Electable nodes can become the primary and can facilitate local reads.

replicationSpec.<region>.priority

number

Election priority of the region. The highest possible priority is 7, which identifies the Preferred Region of the cluster. Atlas places the primary node in the Preferred Region. The lowest possible priority is 0, which identifies a read-only region.

You can have any number of priority 0 read only regions. Priorities 1 through 7 are exclusive: only one region per cluster can be assigned a given priority.

replicationSpec.<region>.readOnlyNodes number Number of read-only nodes in the region. Read-only nodes can never become the primary member, but can facilitate local reads.

replicationSpecs array Configuration for each zone in a Global Cluster. Each object in this array represents a zone where Atlas deploys nodes for your Global Cluster.

replicationSpecs[n].id string Unique identifier of the replication object.

replicationSpecs[n].zoneName string Name for the zone.

replicationSpecs[n].numShards number Number of shards to deploy in the specified zone.

replicationSpecs[n].regionsConfig object Physical location of the region. Each regionsConfig object describes the region's priority in elections and the number and type of MongoDB nodes that Atlas deploys to the region.

replicationSpecs[n].regionsConfig.<region>.analyticsNodes number The number of analytics nodes for Atlas to deploy to the region. Analytics nodes are useful for handling analytic data such as reporting queries from BI Connector for Atlas. Analytics nodes are read-only, and can never become the primary.If you do not specify this option, no analytics nodes are deployed to the region.

replicationSpecs[n].regionsConfig.<region>.electableNodes number Number of electable nodes for Atlas to deploy to the region. Electable nodes can become the primary and can facilitate local reads.

replicationSpecs[n].regionsConfig.<region>.readOnlyNodes

number

Number of read-only nodes for Atlas to deploy to the region. Read-only nodes can never become the primary, but can facilitate local-reads.

Specify 0 if you do not want any read-only nodes in the region.

replicationSpecs[n].regionsConfig.<region>.priority number Election priority of the region. If you have regions with only read-only nodes, set this value to 0.

replicationSpecs[n].zoneName string Name for the zone in a Global Cluster. Do not provide this value if clusterType is not GEOSHARDED.

srvAddress string Connection string for connecting to the Atlas cluster. The +srv modifier forces the connection to use TLS . The mongoURI parameter lists additional options.

stateName

string

Current state of the cluster. The possible states are:

IDLE
