Deploy the Amazon Distro for OpenTelemetry Collector

Once the Amazon Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) Operator is installed and running, you can deploy the ADOT Collector into your Amazon EKS cluster. The ADOT Collector can be deployed in one of four modes: Deployment, DaemonSet, StatefulSet, and Sidecar and can be deployed for visibility by an individual service. For more information on these modes, see the ADOT Collector Deploy the ADOT Collector on GitHub.

You can deploy the ADOT Collector by applying a YAML file to your cluster. You should have already installed the ADOT Operator.
