Get Started with the MongoDB for Azure marketplace offering(Ubuntu & RedHat)

About the image:

Now you can enjoy the quick and hassle-free configuration of your workspaces with Kockpit’s pre-configured images. MongoDB is a virtual machine image (VMI) created for Ubuntu and Red Hat (OS) that allows you to set up your machines within minutes.

MongoDB Community Server is a powerful distributed document database. The community version offers a flexible document model along with ad hoc queries, indexing, and real-time aggregation to provide powerful ways to access and analyze your data. As a distributed system, you get high availability through built-in replication and failover, along with horizontal scalability with native sharding.

MongoDB stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents, meaning fields can vary from document to document, and data structure can be changed over time. MongoDB is a distributed database at its core, so high availability, horizontal scaling, and geographic distribution are built-in and easy to use.

Follow the below steps to access the MongoDB server:

1. Login to Ubuntu VM using SSH.

   

2. After starting MongoDB, type “sudo systemctl status mongod” to check the status.

   

3. Open MongoDB Compass on your desktop.

   

4. In URI, Replace the word “localhost” with your “IP address” and click on connect button.

   

5. Now, you are connected to Mongo Database.
