# Run on a managed container platform

> Run the Collector on AWS ECS Fargate, Azure Container Instances or Google Compute Engine.

To run the image without operating a container platform, use your cloud's managed option. You need the image and enrolled configuration described in [Run with Docker](/deploy/docker).

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="AWS ECS on Fargate">
    A task of 0.5 vCPU and 1 GB runs one Collector. Keep state on Amazon EFS so it survives task replacement. Reference the configuration from AWS Secrets Manager in the task definition's `secrets` block, and set `desiredCount: 1`.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Azure Container Instances">
    Run a single container group with `--restart-policy Always`, and mount the configuration from Azure Files.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Google Compute Engine">
    Run the image on Container-Optimized OS, one container per VM, with `--container-restart-policy=always`.
  </Tab>

For any cloud-hosted Collector, choose a UK region (AWS `eu-west-2`, Azure UK South or Google `europe-west2`) unless your own policy requires otherwise. The Collector also needs routed reach into each site's AV VLAN (see [Network requirements](/deploy/network-requirements)).
