Here's what's new in MongoDB Atlas.

Live migration for sharded clusters and replica sets on 2.6, Datadog alerting, and Azure backup snapshots [null]( New in MongoDB Atlas: Expanded Live Migration Capabilities, Datadog Alerting, and Azure Backup Snapshots Easily migrate replica sets on 2.6+ and sharded clusters into MongoDB Atlas Previously, live migration could only be performed on a replica set running MongoDB version 3.0 and above. Now, users running deprecated versions can transition to a fully managed service and a supported version of the database. Live migrations will now also support sharded clusters, meaning that some of the world's largest MongoDB workloads can now be moved to MongoDB Atlas with less effort and minimal impact to production applications.

An increasing number of companies are using Datadog to monitor their entire application estate and this new integration will allow them to quickly get a sense of any database alerts from a familiar dashboard.

Cloud Provider Snapshots on Azure, Expanded API for Snapshots and Restore Jobs We are introducing a new type of managed backup service for MongoDB Atlas, using the native snapshot capabilities of your cloud provider. Compared to continuous backups, cloud provider snapshots allow for fast restores of snapshot images. Pricing is also lower. Cloud provider snapshots are available today for replica sets on Microsoft Azure with support for AWS and GCP coming later this year. In addition, you can now get metadata about your snapshots, delete them, change their expiration, and trigger restore jobs via the Atlas API, making it more straightforward to incorporate the rich functionality of Atlas' fully managed backups into your existing workflows.
