(New) Beta MongoDB 7.0 Upgrade

We will be upgrading our Beta MongoDB instances from version 6.0 to 7.0. This is to keep-up-to-date with the latest versions of MongoDB. The maintenance is expected to take the full two hours of the listed affected periods below. We will only be upgrading a few instances at a time during each maintenance window to ensure a safer rollout.
