Generate a deployment template

echo '{
   "name" : "<name>",
   "diskSizeGB" : "<size>",
   "providerSettings" : {
       "providerName" : "AWS",
       "diskIOPS" : 100,
       "encryptEBSVolume" : false,
       "instanceSizeName" : "<instance size>",
       "regionName" : "<region>"
   },
   "replicationFactor" : 3,
   "backupEnabled" : false,
   "autoScaling":{
       "diskGBEnabled":true
   },
   "mongoDBMajorVersion": "<version>",
   "mongoDBVersion": "<version>"
}' > ClusterTemplate.json

Update the template to contain requirements

cat ClusterTemplate.json | 
jq '. 
| .name = "MongoDB Live Cluster" 
| .providerSettings.instanceSizeName = "M30" 
| .providerSettings.regionName = "EU_WEST_1" 
| .diskSizeGB = 50 
| .mongoDBVersion = "4.0.14" 
| .mongoDBMajorVersion = "4.0"
