Run Graylog where it makes sense
Cloud, dedicated, hybrid or your own data center. We deploy into your existing infrastructure or provision a new environment around your requirements.
Hetzner
Cost-efficient cloud servers and dedicated hardware in EU and US locations. A strong fit for high-volume, storage-heavy logging.
graylog-on-hetzner Public cloudAWS
Run Graylog inside your AWS accounts, next to the workloads it collects from, with VPC-private components and S3-based backups.
graylog-on-aws Public cloudGoogle Cloud
Graylog on Compute Engine with Persistent Disk or Hyperdisk, passthrough load balancing and Cloud Storage backups.
graylog-on-google-cloud Public cloudAzure
Graylog on Azure VMs with Managed Disks, Azure Load Balancer and Blob Storage backups, integrated into your existing subscriptions.
graylog-on-azureOVHcloud
Bare-metal and public cloud options in European and other regions, with private networking between servers.
Other VPS & dedicated
Any provider that gives us modern Linux, predictable disks and private networking.
Your own servers
Bare metal or virtualised infrastructure in your data center, including restricted networks.
Provider names are used to describe where we can deploy. We are not an official partner of any provider listed.
// choosing
How we help choose the environment
Cost per stored TB
Logging is storage-heavy. Dedicated servers with local disks can change the economics significantly compared to network block storage.
Proximity to sources
Shipping logs across regions or providers adds latency and, on most clouds, data transfer charges.
Data location
Where logs are stored can matter for your data protection obligations. We make the location an explicit design choice.
Operational fit
The best provider is often the one your team already operates, with IAM, networking and billing in place.
Scaling pattern
Cloud instances scale in minutes; dedicated hardware scales in days. Growth rate influences which fits.
Network features
Load balancer protocol support (UDP!), private networking and firewalling differ between providers.
// deployment models
Cloud, bare metal or hybrid
Cloud deployments suit teams that need to scale quickly or keep logs close to cloud workloads. Everything is provisioned with Terraform in your account.
Bare-metal deployments on dedicated servers suit high, steady volumes where local NVMe and predictable cost per TB matter most.
Hybrid designs combine both — for example Graylog nodes in the cloud and the search tier on dedicated hardware, connected over private networking.
Customer-owned infrastructure works too, including restricted networks, as long as we have a sanctioned way to access and operate it.
# illustrative example — not a real configuration
module "graylog" {
graylog_nodes = 2
search_nodes = 3
mongodb_rs = 3
placement = "hybrid"
search_tier = "dedicated-nvme"
private_net = true
}You have logs. We build and operate the infrastructure that makes them useful.
