Features - ApsaraDB for MongoDB - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

This topic describes the features provided by ApsaraDB for MongoDB instances. You can purchase an instance that provides the required features. You can also query the features that are provided by an existing instance.

Important

Instances that run MongoDB 3.4 have been unavailable as of January 1, 2023. For more information, see [Notice] End of sale for MongoDB 3.4 instances as of January 1, 2023.
ApsaraDB for MongoDB does not allow you to decrease storage capacity, change instance architecture, or alter storage engine. To serve such purposes, you must create new instances. For more information, see Change the configurations of an instance.
In the following tables, the symbol indicates that the feature is supported, and the symbol indicates that the feature is not supported.
