M102: MongoDB for DBAs (MongoDB)

Offered by MongoDB University,
M102: MongoDB for DBAs (MongoDB)

Learn everything you need to know to administer a MongoDB installation in production. This course begins by assuming you have no experience with MongoDB, taking you through the basics of installation. Then you will learn about JSON and Mongo's extensive query capabilities through the Mongo shell. We will cover importing, and exporting data into Mongo. After that, we cover replication and fault tolerance. Then it is on to scaling out with MongoDB, including indexing, performance tuning, monitoring, and sharding. Finally, we cover backups and recovery. No prior experience with MongoDB is assumed for this course but a knowledge of administration of another database will be helpful.

**## This course is retired. It has been replaced by the following courses:

M001: MongoDB Basics. Learn the fundamentals of MongoDB. 3 Weeks.
or
M103: Basic Cluster Administration. Learn the essentials of database administration in MongoDB. 3 Weeks.
These courses will teach you about the basics of MongoDB, Atlas, and Compass as well as how to administer basic MongoDB deployments with confidence. In M001 you'll learn how to build data models and access patterns to address common application use cases. In M103 you'll learn how to build standalone nodes, replica sets and sharded clusters from scratch. Please review the course about pages for future dates.**
