Install the Splunk Operator

Install the operator using Helm charts or manifest files.

The Splunk Operator for Kubernetes (SOK) supports two installation methods: Helm charts and YAML manifest files applied with kubectl. Helm charts offer configurable, repeatable deployments with release management and rollback support. YAML manifest files offer a simple, single-command deployment.

Note: The Splunk Operator officially supports installation using Helm only.

For instructions on installing with Helm charts, see Deploy the Splunk Operator using Helm. For instructions on installing with YAML manifest files, see Deploy the Splunk Operator using manifest files.
