Thanks for going through the blog and sharing your views. The intention of this blog was to deploy a three-data-bearing node replica set with Ansible.

IMO, data grows, and making that decision later on only leads to a major pe=iece of work, identifying shard keys, setting up the shards, and putting in place what should have been here from the get go?

I have also found that, although the ‘priority’ is little used these days, actually assigning the priority to a physical hierachy, dictating which machines will take over in case of an outage, works better. This also allows one machine to be used as a place to take the backup from, for that shard. I have also found it useful to have a small machine for an Arbiter also…. just helps it make the right decision if a splu=it brain happens.

Apart form that , a great article.
