Challenge 06 - Deploy MongoDB to AKS - Coach’s Guide

Notes & Guidance

The original mongo container image maintained by the mongo project is at:
- https://hub.docker.com/_/mongo
Bitnami also provides a mongo container image that can be found here:
- https://hub.docker.com/r/bitnami/mongodb
Encourage students to follow the pattern they used in Challenge 4 and create a deployment and service YAML file for MongoDB and change settings as necessary
NOTE: When creating the service YAML for MongoDB, it is important for students to be aware of the service name they need to use.
- The content-init-job.yml file in Challenge 7 sets an environment variable that expects the service to be named “mongodb”.
- If the service name does not match, the content-init job will fail with an error.
- If students run into this error, help them troubleshoot and come up with a solution, ie: change the service name, or modify the content-init-job.yml file.
