This information is for Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline, which is a standalone product separate from Chronosphere Observability Platform.
As the first step of your Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline deployment, you must install a Core Operator. This installation process differs between Kubernetes and Linux.

​
Kubernetes

Installing a Core Operator in a Kubernetes cluster creates a Kubernetes operator within that cluster. You’ll need to install a Core Operator in each cluster where you’d like to use Telemetry Pipeline. For example, if you have 10 clusters, you must install 10 Core Operators.

​
Linux

Installing a Core Operator on Linux automatically deploys a K3s cluster in your Linux environment, then creates a Core Operator within that cluster. You’ll need to install a Core Operator in each Linux environment where you’d like to use Telemetry Pipeline. For example, if you have 10 Linux virtual machines, you must install 10 Core Operators, and each of those Core Operators will run within its own dedicated k3s cluster.
