Alloy is designed to adapt to any environment:

  • Linux (Binary/Systemd): Ideal for classic virtual machines (VMs). Installed via APT/YUM repositories.
  • Docker: An official image is available for quick deployment in simple containerized environments.
  • Kubernetes: Grafana offers an official Helm Chart that allows deploying Alloy as a DaemonSet (for collecting node logs and metrics) or Deployment/StatefulSet (for OTLP ingestion or clustering).
