  1. It does. The main features in Enterprise Edition which are not available in Community Edition are these:

    • In-Memory Storage Engine
    • Auditing
    • Kerberos Authentication
    • LDAP Proxy Authentication and LDAP Authorization
    • Encryption at Rest

    See https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/administration/upgrade-community-to-enterprise/

    There are a few more functions in Enterprise, but they are minor.

  2. The accepted answer is totally wrong. The community operator doesn’t support sharded cluster.
    Their GitHub clearly states this:

    "The Community Operator does not support creation of sharded clusters yet. Please feel free to contribute to the codebase for features like this." Apr 2022
