# Choose your deployment platform

Your first hands-on step is to find the HAProxy integration and select the platform where you’ll install Grafana Alloy.

Grafana Cloud uses your platform selection to generate the correct installation commands for Alloy.

1. Click **Connections > Add new connection** in the left-side menu.
2. Filter the connections by typing `HAProxy` in the search.
3. Click the **HAProxy** tile.
4. Select the **operating system** that matches your HAProxy server.
5. Select the **architecture** that matches your system (Amd64 for x86\_64, Arm64 for aarch64).
6. If you are unsure of the architecture, run `uname -m` in your terminal. If it returns `x86_64`, select **Amd64**. If it returns `aarch64`, select **Arm64**.
