I can't find a way to configure the max memory for the mongod process. This is necessary if non-mongo software is also run on the instance.

mongo use memory mapped files. that means that the virtual size is the size of all your data.
the OS will make sure other processes can have some ram.

see: http://blog.mongodb.org/post/101911655/mongo-db-memory-usage for more info.
