Migration Of MS SQL From Azure VM To Amazon RDS

The MongoDB operator is a custom CRD-based operator inside Kubernetes to create, manage, and auto-heal MongoDB setup. It helps in providing different types of MongoDB setup on Kubernetes like- standalone, replicated, and sharded. There are quite amazing features we have introduced inside the operator and some are in-pipeline on which deployment is going on. Some of the MongoDB operator features are:-

  • Standalone and replicated cluster setup
  • Failover and recovery of MongoDB nodes
  • Inbuilt monitoring support for Prometheus using MongoDB Exporter.
  • Different Kubernetes-related best practices like:- Affinity, Pod Disruption Budget, Resource management, etc, are also part of it.
  • Insightful and detailed monitoring dashboards for Grafana.
  • Custom MongoDB configuration support.

Other than this, there are a lot of features are in the backlog on which active development is happening. For example:-

  • Backup and Restore support
  • TLS encryption and decryption
  • DB management support
  • User management support
  • Roles management support

MongoDB Operator architecture looks like this:-

Installation and Configuration of MongoDB Operator

MongoDB Operator requires a Kubernetes cluster of version >=1.16.0. If you have just started with the CRD and Operators, it’s highly recommended to use the latest version of Kubernetes.

Setup of MongoDB operator can be easily done by using simple helm and kubectl commands.

First, add the helm repository to your system.

# Add the helm chart
$ helm repo add ot-helm \ 
https://ot-container-kit.github.io/helm-charts/
...
"ot-helm" has been added to your repositories

Once the helm repository is configured, we can simply deploy the operator using the helm install command.

# Deploy the MongoDB Operator
$ helm install mongodb-operator \
ot-helm/mongodb-operator --namespace ot-operators
...
Release "mongodb-operator" does not exist. Installing it now.
NAME: mongodb-operator
LAST DEPLOYED: Sun Jan  9 23:05:13 2022
NAMESPACE: ot-operators
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1

After the operator deployment is successful, we can verify it using the kubectl command line.

# List the pod and status of mongodb-operator
$ kubectl get pods -n ot-operators -l name=mongodb-operator
...
NAME                               READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
mongodb-operator-fc88b45b5-8rmtj   1/1     Running   0          21d

MongoDB Cluster setup on Kubernetes

MongoDB cluster can be easily set up on Kubernetes cluster by providing a simple manifest file like this:-

---
apiVersion: opstreelabs.in/v1alpha1
kind: MongoDBCluster
metadata:
  name: mongodb
spec:
  clusterSize: 3
  kubernetesConfig:
    image: quay.io/opstree/mongo:v5.0
    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
    securityContext:
      fsGroup: 1001
  storage:
    accessModes: ["ReadWriteOnce"]
    storageSize: 1Gi
    storageClass: csi-cephfs-sc
  mongoDBSecurity:
    mongoDBAdminUser: admin
    secretRef:
      name: mongodb-secret
      key: password
  mongoDBMonitoring:
    enableExporter: true
    image: bitnami/mongodb-exporter:0.11.2-debian-10-r382
    imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent

How to Perform Penetration Testing on IoT Devices: Tools & Techniques for Business Security

The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed our homes and workplaces but at what cost?   With billions of connected devices, hackers have more entry points than ever. IoT penetration testing is your best defense, uncovering vulnerabilities before cybercriminals do. But where do you start? Discover the top tools, techniques, and expert strategies to safeguard your IoT ecosystem. Don’t wait for a breach, stay one step ahead.   Read on to fortify your devices now!  Why IoT Penetration Testing is Critical  IoT devices often lack robust security by design. Many run on outdated firmware, use default credentials, or have unsecured communication channels. A single vulnerable device can expose an entire network.  Real-world examples of IoT vulnerabilities:   Mirai Botnet (2016) : Exploited default credentials in IP cameras and DVRs, launching massive DDoS attacks. Stuxnet (2010): Targeted industrial IoT systems, causing physical damage to nuclear centrifu...

Infrastructure-as-Prompt: How GenAI Is Revolutionizing Cloud Automation

Forget YAML sprawl and CLI incantations. The next frontier in cloud automation isn't about writing more code; it's about telling the cloud what you need. Welcome to the era of Infrastructure-as-Prompt (IaP), where Generative AI is transforming how we provision, manage, and optimize cloud resources. The Problem: IaC's Complexity Ceiling Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) like Terraform, CloudFormation, or ARM templates revolutionized cloud ops. But it comes with baggage: Steep Learning Curve:  Mastering domain-specific languages and cloud provider nuances takes time. Boilerplate Bloat:  Simple tasks often require verbose, repetitive code. Error-Prone:  Manual coding leads to misconfigurations, security gaps, and drift. Maintenance Overhead:  Keeping templates updated across environments and providers is tedious. The Solution: GenAI as Your Cloud Co-Pilot GenAI models (like GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, or specialized cloud models) understand n...

How Security-First CI/CD Pipelines Help Mitigate Business Risk

Businesses today must adapt quickly, rolling out software updates and new features at an unprecedented pace. To accomplish this, many turn to Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines. However, this pursuit of speed can introduce significant security risks if it's not approached with caution. This is where the concept of DevSecOps comes into play. It’s an essential strategy for organizations aiming to strike the right balance between speed and security. Historically, security has often been an afterthought, resulting in delays and making systems more vulnerable to cyber threats. DevSecOps changes this narrative by embedding security practices within every stage of the software development lifecycle. In this blog, we will delve into the tangible ROI of adopting DevSecOps , highlighting how a security-first mindset in CI/CD not only minimizes business risks but also reduces downtime and leads to measurable cost savings. Additionally, we’ll examine how automatin...
