Cloud Config:Use dedicated or exclusive instance types for MongoDB

Last Updated:Jun 18, 2026

This rule checks whether a MongoDB instance uses a non-shared-resource instance type.

Scenarios

Dedicated instances have exclusive access to CPU and memory resources, which ensures stable long-term performance unaffected by other instances on the same physical server.

Risk level

Default risk level: Low.

You can change the risk level as needed.

Detection logic

  • A MongoDB instance is considered compliant if it uses a non-shared-resource instance type.

  • A MongoDB instance is considered non-compliant if it uses a shared-resource instance type. To resolve this issue, see Remediation.
