# Install Grafana Loki with Helm

The [Helm](https://helm.sh/) chart lets you configure, install, and upgrade Grafana Loki within a Kubernetes cluster.

This guide references the Loki Helm chart version 6.0 or greater and contains the following sections:

- [Helm chart components](/docs/loki/next/setup/install/helm/concepts/)
- [Install monolithic Loki](/docs/loki/next/setup/install/helm/install-monolithic/)
- [Install microservice Loki](/docs/loki/next/setup/install/helm/install-microservices/)
- [Install scalable Loki](/docs/loki/next/setup/install/helm/install-scalable/)
- [Cloud Deployment Guides](/docs/loki/next/setup/install/helm/deployment-guides/)
- [Configure storage](/docs/loki/next/setup/install/helm/configure-storage/)
- [Helm chart values](/docs/loki/next/setup/install/helm/reference/)
- [Monitoring](/docs/loki/next/setup/install/helm/monitor-and-alert/)

If you are installing Grafana Enterprise Logs, follow the [GEL Helm installation](/docs/enterprise-logs/next/setup/helm/).

> Note
> 
> Grafana Labs maintains the GEL Helm charts in the Loki repository. Grafana Community Champions now maintain the Loki Helm charts in the [Grafana-community/helm-charts repo](https://github.com/grafana-community/helm-charts). Issues and pull requests for the Loki chart should be opened against the community repository.

## Deployment Recommendations

Loki is designed to be run in two states:

- [Monolithic](/docs/loki/next/get-started/deployment-modes/#monolithic-mode): Recommended when you are running Loki as part of a small meta monitoring stack.
- [Microservices](/docs/loki/next/get-started/deployment-modes/#microservices-mode): For workloads that require high availability and scalability. Loki is deployed in this mode internally at Grafana Labs.

> Tip
> 
> Loki can also be deployed in [Simple Scalable mode](/docs/loki/next/get-started/deployment-modes/#simple-scalable). But Simple Scalable Deployment (SSD) mode is being deprecated. For the best possible experience in production, we recommend deploying Loki in *microservices* mode.

## Cloud Deployment Guides

The following guides provide step-by-step instructions for deploying Loki on cloud providers:

- [Amazon EKS](/docs/loki/next/setup/install/helm/deployment-guides/aws/)
- [Azure AKS](/docs/loki/next/setup/install/helm/deployment-guides/azure/)
- [Google GKE](/docs/loki/next/setup/install/helm/deployment-guides/gcp/)

## Reference

You can find reference documentation for the Loki Helm chart in the [values.yaml file](https://github.com/grafana-community/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/loki/values.yaml).
