A complete, detailed tutorial about deploying and operating a sharded cluster on MongoDB K8s is currently under construction. Thank you for your patience!
In the meantime, you can:

- Continue reading for alternative documentation that can guide you through most tutorial steps.
Deploy a sharded cluster
Here are all the steps you need to learn how to deploy and operate a sharded cluster on MongoDB K8s, including setting up and tearing down a test environment.
1. Set up your environment
See: Tutorial > Deploy a replica set > 1. Set up your environment
The environment setup process (Juju, MicroK8s) is independent of the deployment type (replica set or sharded cluster).
2. Deploy MongoDB
See: How to > Deploy MongoDB > Create a MongoDB sharded cluster
3. Access a sharded cluster
To deploy, integrate, and retrieve the URI, see: Mongos K8s documentation > Get started (external page)
To access the mongo shell and create a test database, see Tutorial > Deploy a replica set > 3. Access a replica set
Keep in mind that for a sharded cluster, you must ssh into the config-server unit instead of mongodb-k8s.
4. Add and remove shards
See: How to > Scale replicas and shards > Scale a sharded cluster
5. Manage passwords
See: How to > Manage client connections > Rotate mongos password
6. Integrate with other applications
See: How to > Manage client connections > Create a client connection to a sharded cluster
7. Enable TLS
See: How to > Enable TLS encryption > Enable and disable TLS in a sharded cluster
8. Clean up your environment
See: Tutorial > Deploy a replica set > 8. Clean up your environment
The environment cleanup process is independent of the deployment type (replica set or sharded cluster).
