Install {agent} on Kubernetes using Helm

preview::[]

Starting with {stack} version 8.16, a Helm chart is available for installing {agent} in a Kubernetes environment. A Helm-based install offers several advantages, including simplified deployment, availability in marketplaces, streamlined ugrades, as well as quick rollbacks whenever they’re needed.

Features of the Helm-based {agent} install include:

  • Support for both standalone and {fleet}-managed {agent}.

  • For standalone agents, a built-in Kubernetes policy similar to that available in {fleet} for {fleet}-managed agents.

  • Support for custom integrations.

  • Support for {es} outputs with authentication through username and password, an API key, or a stored secret.

  • Easy switching between privileged (root) and unprivileged {agent} deployments.

  • Support for {stack} deployments on {eck}.

For detailed install steps, try one of our walk-through examples:

Note
 The {agent} Helm chart is currently available from inside the elastic/elastic-agent GitHub repo. It’s planned to soon make the chart available from the Elastic Helm repository.

You can also find details about the Helm chart, including all available YAML settings and descriptions, in the {agent} Helm Chart Readme. Several examples are available if you’d like to explore other use cases.
