ApsaraDB for MongoDB:View the zones of nodes in an instance

Last Updated:Mar 28, 2026

View how the nodes of a replica set or sharded cluster instance are distributed across zones. Use this information to confirm your high availability (HA) topology and plan zone migration or node role changes.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that:

  • The instance is a replica set instance or sharded cluster instance

How it works

ApsaraDB for MongoDB deploys the nodes of a replica set or sharded cluster instance across three zones in the same region. This zone-disaster recovery deployment keeps your data available if one zone becomes unavailable due to force majeure factors such as a power or network failure — the HA system automatically fails over to another zone.

For more information about how to create a multi-zone instance, see Create a multi-zone replica set instance and Create a multi-zone sharded cluster instance.

Note

For details on multi-zone versus single-zone deployment, see the "Node deployment policies" section of Create a multi-zone replica set instance and Create a multi-zone sharded cluster instance.

View zone distribution

  1. Log on to the ApsaraDB for MongoDB console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Replica Set Instances or Sharded Cluster Instances.

  3. In the upper-left corner of the page, select the resource group and region where the instance is located.

  4. Click the ID of the instance, or click Manage in the Actions column.

  5. In the left-side navigation pane, click Service Availability. In the Zone Distribution section, view the zone assigned to each node.
