# Kubernetes

Learn how to deploy Bindplane Server and Collectors on Kubernetes clusters for scalable, highly available telemetry collection.

## Components

### [Server](/deployment/kubernetes/server.md)

Deploy the Bindplane Server with:

* High availability and load balancing
* Persistent storage
* Ingress and TLS
* Monitoring and health checks
* Secure secrets management

### [Collector](/deployment/kubernetes/collector.md)

Deploy Collectors as DaemonSets or Deployments with:

* Node/Cluster coverage
* Gateway coverage
* Dynamic configuration
* Resource management
* Service discovery
* Kubernetes-native management

## Deployment Methods

* **Helm Charts**: Quick deployment with pre-configured charts
* **YAML Manifests**: Direct control over Kubernetes resources

## Requirements

* Kubernetes 1.20+
* 2 CPU cores, 4GB RAM minimum
* Persistent volume support
* Ingress controller
* kubectl CLI (Helm/kustomize optional)
