# Infrastructure

Learn how to deploy Ocean components in your environment.

There are many ways in which the components can be deployed, from simple configurations used for development and testing to complex configurations, used for production systems.

All the Ocean Protocol components ([Provider](/developers/old-infrastructure/provider.md), [Aquarius](/developers/old-infrastructure/aquarius.md), [Subgraph](/developers/old-infrastructure/subgraph.md)) are designed to run in Docker containers, on a Linux operating system. For simple configurations, we rely on Docker Engine and Docker Compose products to deploy and run the components, while for complex configurations we use Kubernetes. The guides included in this section will present both deployment options.

Please note that deploying the Ocean components requires a good understanding of:

* Linux operating system
* Docker Engine
* Docker Compose or Kubernetes (depending on the configuration chosen for the component deployment)

Please note that Ocean Marketplace is not a core component of the stack but rather an example of what can be achieved with the technology, in this section we included a guide on how to deploy it.

All components need to be deployed on a server, so we included a guide about how to install and configure a server will all the necessary tools.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.oceanprotocol.com/infrastructure.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
