How To Connect To Mongodb On Azure, From Android?

Solution 1:

Your 'possible solution' is the right one in my view - you need to open a (load balanced) TCP port in the firewall surrounding your roles and InputEndpoint is the way to do that.

Solution 2:

You cannot use an input endpoint if you are doing writes when using a replica set of size > 1 if you are the github solution above. You do not want the Azure load balancer to route a write (insert or update) to a secondary of MongoDB in which case your write will fail. If you use Azure virtual machines then you can create a port mapping per virtual machine instance and overcome this.
