You can install Chronosphere Telemetry Pipeline in a Linux environment or inside a Kubernetes cluster. To complete this installation process, you’ll need to deploy several components that work together to form a functional Telemetry Pipeline deployment. These components include a Core Operator, a Core Instance, and any number of pipelines.
Telemetry Pipeline doesn’t offer native support for macOS or Windows. However, you can install Telemetry Pipeline on a Linux virtual machine or Kubernetes cluster running on a macOS or Windows device.You can also use Pipeline CLI in macOS and Windows to manage pipelines deployed on an external Linux environment or Kubernetes cluster.

​
Install a Core Operator

First, you must install a Core Operator in each cluster or environment where you want to use Telemetry Pipeline. These Core Operators are Kubernetes operators that create and modify pipelines.

​
Create a Core Instance

Next, for each Core Operator you install, you’ll need to create a Core Instance in the corresponding Kubernetes cluster or Linux environment. Core Instances create the underlying resources for your pipelines and sync those resources with the Telemetry Pipeline backend.

​
Create and manage pipelines

After you install a Core Operator and create a Core Instance, you can create pipelines in that environment and configure their behavior.
