MongoDB in the Amazon Cloud

About:

A discussion on the MongoDB group about EBS snapshot backups of journaled MongoDB reminded me of a Jared Rosoff’s slides “MongoDB on EC2 and EBS” covering many important aspects of running MongoDB on the Amazon cloud:

  • MongoDB components and their requirements

    MongoDB components

  • deployment options and corresponding Amazon EC2 instance types

    MongoDB and Amazon EC2 instance types

  • operating systems, specific configurations, and operational advise:

    • deployment automation
    • backups and restoration
    • security

  • deployment scenarios:

    • 3-node replica set
    • 2-nodes + arbiter
    • multi-datacenter (availability zone) 3-node replica set
    • sharded MongoDB

While tempting, running databases in the cloud is not as simple as Amazon makes it sound. Reddit felt that with their Cassandra and PostgreSQL deployment.
