Directions

1. Log in to the TencentDB for MongoDB purchase page with a Tencent Cloud account.

2. Specify instance configurations as needed. Required configuration items are as follows.

   Configuration Item	Description
   Billing Mode	Pay-as-you-go is supported. For more information, see Billing Overview.
   Region	Select a region where your instance resides. We recommend you select a region closest to you to reduce access latency. Note that the region cannot be changed after the instance is successfully created. We recommend that you select the same region as the CVM instance for private network communication.
   Availability Zone	Both single-AZ and multi-AZ deployment schemes are supported. Select an AZ in the region where the instance resides. If you select multi-AZ deployment, select AZs for the primary node, secondary node 1, and secondary node 2. To ensure successful cross-AZ switch, multi-AZ deployment only supports deploying instance nodes to three AZs.
   Configuration Type	Select the configuration type of the instance. Ten-Gigabit High IO is selected by default.
   Version	Select the database version. MongoDB 4.2, 4.0, 3.6, and 3.2 are supported. For more information, see Storage Engine and Version.
   Engine	The default storage engine is WiredTiger. Only MongoDB 3.2 supports Rocks. For more information, see Storage Engine and Version.
   Instance Type	Select the instance architecture. Replica set and sharded cluster are supported. For more information, see System Architecture. For a replica set instance, the one-primary-two-secondary architecture is adopted by default. For a sharded cluster instance, you need to specify the number of shards and the number of nodes per shard.
   Shard Quantity	Set the number of shards for a sharded cluster instance. Value range: [2,20]. The more the shards, the larger the cluster storage capacity.
   Nodes per Shard	Set the number of nodes per shard for a sharded cluster instance. By default, each shard has one primary node and two secondary nodes, which currently cannot be modified.
   mongos Specs	You can select the mongos specification for a MongoDB 4.2 sharded cluster instance.
   mongos Quantity	You can set the number of mongos for a MongoDB 4.2 sharded cluster instance. Value range: [3,32].
   configServer Specs	For a MongoDB 4.2 sharded cluster instance, the default specification of configServer is 1 core, 2 GB memory, 20 GB storage, and three replicas, which cannot be modified.
   configServer Storage	For a MongoDB 4.2 sharded cluster instance, the default specification of configServer is 1 core, 2 GB memory, 20 GB storage, and three replicas, which cannot be modified.
   mongod Specs	Select the computing specification for your database instance. For available computing specifications, see Billing Overview.
   Capacity	It is the disk capacity of each mongod node. After you select the mongod computing specification, the default disk capacity will be matched, and you can also select another capacity on the slider as needed. Here, the default oplog storage space is 10% of the selected storage capacity.
   Network	Both VPC (recommended) and classic network are supported. If you select the private network, only devices in the selected subnet can access the database instance. If you select the classic network, only devices in the selected classic network can access the database instance. If you need new networks, you can create VPCs or subnets.
   IP Version	IPv6 address access is currently not supported.
   Project	Assign your instance to a project for easy management.
   Tag	Add tags to your instance for easy classification and management. Click Add to select tag keys and values.
   Instance Name	You can select Set After Creation or Set Now. The instance name can contain up to 60 letters, digits, or symbols (-_).
   Set a password	Set Now is selected by default.
   Username	Default instance username. In MongoDB 3.2, `rwuser` and `mongouser` are the default users. In versions later than MongoDB 3.2, `mongouser` is the default user. After the instance is created, you can create custom accounts.
   Password	Set a password for the default instance user. Required password strength: It must contain 8-32 characters. It supports uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and digits. It supports the following symbols: !@#%^*()_ It cannot all be letters or digits.
   Confirm Password	Enter your password again.
   Security Group	Set security group rules to control the inbound/outbound traffic to/from your instance. You can either select a security group from the Existing Security Groups drop-down list or click Custom Security Groups to create one and set inbound/outbound rules. For more information, see Security Group.
   Quantity	You can purchase up to 30 pay-as-you-go instances in each region and up to ten instances each time.

3. Click Billing Details to view product pricing and confirm the total fees.

4. Click Buy Now. After the purchase success message is displayed, click Go to Console to enter the instance list page. After the instance's status becomes Running, you can use it.
