1
00:00:02,190 --> 00:00:08,370
With my cluster up and running, we can now work with the cluster. On the cluster here, we get a couple

2
00:00:08,370 --> 00:00:14,670
of options to migrate data into the cluster for example, to pause it, to terminate it,

3
00:00:15,030 --> 00:00:20,130
you can check out general metrics about your cluster and see all kinds of information of what happened

4
00:00:20,190 --> 00:00:23,010
on your cluster, how many reads you had and so on,

5
00:00:23,010 --> 00:00:25,510
you can also dive into the collections your cluster has,

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:31,590
so you see databases and the collections in the cluster and some of these options might only be available

7
00:00:31,620 --> 00:00:33,600
outside of the free tier by the way,

8
00:00:33,810 --> 00:00:35,920
so I'll not dive too deep into that,

9
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:38,150
definitely just click around there and play around.

10
00:00:38,340 --> 00:00:41,790
For now, the interesting part is how can we connect to the cluster

11
00:00:41,790 --> 00:00:46,870
and for this we can click on the overview page, we can click on connect here. Now

12
00:00:46,890 --> 00:00:51,660
there you see the IP addresses that will be able to connect and you can also add an entry from here

13
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,240
but that's the same list we had on the IP whitelist page earlier

14
00:00:55,620 --> 00:00:58,190
and then you should choose your way of connecting.

15
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:04,500
Now I will go with the shell, in another module in this course later we'll of course also connect from an application

16
00:01:04,590 --> 00:01:11,400
so that we can really use that in an app as it could run on a real server, so I'll connect with mongodb

17
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:12,250
shell.

18
00:01:12,270 --> 00:01:17,370
Now you can follow the instructions here for your operating system, download the shell of course,

19
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,160
we already have it

20
00:01:18,180 --> 00:01:24,100
so you can skip that step and then connect with this command here.

21
00:01:24,510 --> 00:01:27,520
So you should be able to just copy that command,

22
00:01:27,870 --> 00:01:31,240
you'll need your password, so make sure you also have that saved somewhere,

23
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,810
copy that command here

24
00:01:33,970 --> 00:01:36,100
and now let's switch to the shell again.

25
00:01:36,460 --> 00:01:39,130
Now first of all you need to quit a running shell,

26
00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:41,980
you can also quit a running mongod instance on your computer,

27
00:01:41,980 --> 00:01:43,540
you don't need to run a server anymore,

28
00:01:43,570 --> 00:01:45,090
we have one in the web now.

29
00:01:45,460 --> 00:01:48,590
And now to connect to the mongodb cluster,

30
00:01:48,610 --> 00:01:50,640
you can insert a command you just copied

31
00:01:50,770 --> 00:01:52,720
and the important thing here is that we have now

32
00:01:52,750 --> 00:01:54,060
mongo still

33
00:01:54,220 --> 00:02:01,540
but then we have this path here and this ensures that mongo does not try to connect to a locally running

34
00:02:01,890 --> 00:02:06,900
mongodb server which would be its default behavior but that it instead tries to reach a server

35
00:02:06,940 --> 00:02:08,120
at this address.

36
00:02:08,350 --> 00:02:12,210
/tests here by the way defines the default database to which you connect,

37
00:02:12,250 --> 00:02:17,020
so you can change this if you want, so you can also set

38
00:02:17,020 --> 00:02:17,910
I want to connect to

39
00:02:17,910 --> 00:02:21,660
let's say /products here.

40
00:02:21,910 --> 00:02:27,700
You then need to add your username with --username and you can hit enter and you should be prompted

41
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:29,330
for your password then.

42
00:02:29,350 --> 00:02:34,360
Now make sure you now enter the password you chose when creating the user with which you were trying

43
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,680
to log in

44
00:02:36,220 --> 00:02:41,460
and it should then connect to your mongodb server running in the cloud,

45
00:02:41,470 --> 00:02:44,450
so I'm now connected to this cloud.

46
00:02:44,670 --> 00:02:51,480
If I show my dbs, we again is the admin config local there and now of course, I should already be in products

47
00:02:51,490 --> 00:02:58,000
but we can also use that again or use shop maybe and then there, use db products

48
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:09,530
insert one and there I can enter a book and a price and if I hit enter, this is now inserted and everything here works

49
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,910
as you learned it in the course. This does not differ, it's a normal mongodb server in the end,

50
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:19,510
just one running in the cloud and not running on your computer and you can interact with it as you

51
00:03:19,510 --> 00:03:25,560
did with your local server but now, you've got a perfectly configured, highly performant mongodb

52
00:03:25,710 --> 00:03:27,120
server deployed in the cloud

53
00:03:27,220 --> 00:03:30,710
and since it's in the cloud now, so on a server and not on your local host,

54
00:03:30,820 --> 00:03:34,060
you can now use it from anywhere and not just your local machine.
