# Kubernetes Deployment

> Deploy the Collate on Kubernetes using Helm, custom values, and supported cloud configurations for scalable containerized environments.

# Kubernetes Deployment

Collate supports installing and running the application on Kubernetes using Helm charts.

## Kubernetes Deployment Architecture

The following diagram shows the expected Kubernetes Deployment Architecture for Collate Application in **Production**.

<img src="https://mintcdn.com/collatedocs/cOe_QuHYxAbkMtTI/public/images/deployment/kubernetes/kubernetes-architecture-prod.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=cOe_QuHYxAbkMtTI&q=85&s=b4201f5e8459e02675bd1b25ddaecfa5" alt="Kubernetes Deployment Architecture" width="577" height="417" data-path="public/images/deployment/kubernetes/kubernetes-architecture-prod.png" />

Collate Application is deployed using Helm Charts. Various Kubernetes manifests support the installation. In this architecture, Collate Application connects with external dependencies—Database, OpenSearch, and Argo Workflows as the ingestion orchestration tool.

<Note>
  **Note**: Collate BYOC requires **OpenSearch** as the search engine. ElasticSearch is not supported because Collate AI relies on OpenSearch's vector capabilities for Semantic and Hybrid Search.
</Note>

The Collate Helm Charts expose the Application from Kubernetes Service at Port `8585` and `8586`. The Health Checks and Metrics endpoints are available on port `8586`.

Network Policies and Ingresses are optional manifests and disabled by default. Install or enable them using the [Helm Values](/ai-2-0/how-to-guides/deployment/byoc/kubernetes/helm-values).
