The MongoDB Atlas Kubernetes Operator has been updated to make it easier for users to install and manage Atlas through a single command using the Atlas CLI, reducing the complexity of the process and allowing teams to automate the installation and import of existing Atlas projects into management. The new updates simplify the use of the operator by enabling users to export Atlas configuration directly into Kubernetes, eliminating the need to manually export it before applying it to their cluster. This simplification reduces the amount of time and effort required for teams to get started with Atlas, making it easier for them to take control of their projects and clusters through the Atlas Operator.
