For easy deployment on a VM, or running on a local machine at a test location

Our [Docker Compose file](https://gitlab.com/marple-public/marple-installation/-/blob/master/marple-insight/docker-compose.yaml) defines

* The Marple Insight container
* (Optional) A Postgres container

Logs, license files, and temporary data are stored within the VM.

### **Kubernetes**

For large organisations, who already have a Kubernetes cluster running

[Our Helm chart ](https://gitlab.com/marple-public/marple-installation/-/tree/master/marple-insight)defines all necessary resources, making deployment and updates streamlined.
