Use AWS CloudFormation to manage [MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas).

Partner Solutions (formally AWS Quick Starts) are automated reference deployments built by Amazon Web Services (AWS) solutions architects and AWS Partners. Partner Solutions help you deploy popular technologies to AWS according to AWS best practices. The quickest way to get started is to launch the official [MongoDB Atlas on AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/quickstart/architecture/mongodb-atlas/) Partner Solution Deployment directly from the AWS Management Console.
Use [AWS CloudFormation](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/) to manage [MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/cloud/atlas). See our [documentation](https://www.mongodb.com/products/integrations/aws-cloudformation) for quick starts and common questions. For a list of supported resources, see [here](cfn-resources/README.md).

## Getting Started
### MongoDB Atlas CloudFormation
See the [`cfn` examples](examples/README.md) to setup prerequisites and get started with your first cluster using our sample CloudFormation Stack templates.

See the [`cfn` examples](examples/README.md) to setup prerequisites and get started with your first cluster using our sample CloudFormation Stack templates. For all examples, first enable resources in the [AWS Cloudformation Third Party registry](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/home#/registry/public-extensions?visibility=PUBLIC&type=RESOURCE&category=THIRD_PARTY) (select "Third party" as `Provider` and search by "MongoDB::Atlas").

### MongoDB Atlas AWS CDK
See the [cdk examples](https://github.com/mongodb/awscdk-resources-mongodbatlas/blob/main/examples/README.md) to setup prerequisites and get started with your first cluster using our AWS CDK sample code.

Just a bit of explanation and clarity:

Suggested change
- We **only** support resources enabled in the [AWS Cloudformation Third Party registry](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/home#/registry/public-extensions?visibility=PUBLIC&type=RESOURCE&category=THIRD_PARTY) (select "Third party" as `Provider` and search by "MongoDB::Atlas").
- In order to ensure the highest quality experience and support, we only support resources enabled via the [AWS Cloudformation Third Party registry](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation/home#/registry/public-extensions?visibility=PUBLIC&type=RESOURCE&category=THIRD_PARTY) (select "Third party" as `Provider` and search by "MongoDB::Atlas"). Any usage outside of this workflow is not supported or recommended.

Also in reading over the rest of the README - I think we need a header (double #) on "Enabling" that further reiterates where to enable the resources, i.e. the 3rd party registry. And also to do so in each acct/region needed. We only have this in troubleshooting but a header on Enabling hopefully will keep them out of troubleshooting. We might also want to include an "Upgrade" header?
