Learning Objectives

Understand MongoDB’s Resilient Architecture
Design MongoDB deployments that withstand failures by using replica sets, multi-region or multi-cloud architectures, and workload isolation to maintain availability and performance during disruptions.

Identify Security and Compliance Best Practices in MongoDB
Protect sensitive data and meet regulatory requirements by combining geo-distributed clusters, strong access controls, and security best practices across your MongoDB deployments.

Understand how to Manage Failover and Backups
Leverage MongoDB Ops Manager to monitor cluster health, automate backups, and run restore workflows so self-managed deployments remain available and recoverable during outages and disasters.
