Datadog Agent Supported Platforms

Kloudfuse requires Datadog Agent 7.41 or higher. The tables below show which operating systems and container platforms can Data Agent for metric collection. Anything that can run a Datadog Agent to collect metrics will be able to forward those metrics to Kloudfuse.

Overview

Datadog Agent 7 supports 64-bit x86 (AMD64) and 64-bit ARM v8 (ARM64) architectures on Linux, Windows, and macOS. IBM AIX on POWER (ppc64) is supported through the separate Datadog UNIX Agent.

Container deployments on Docker and Kubernetes are supported on both architectures. Agent 5 and Agent 6 are not supported for use with Kloudfuse.

Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012, and 2012 R2 are end-of-life at Microsoft. Use the most recent supported Windows Server release for production deployments.

macOS

macOS support is intended for development and testing. Production collection from macOS hosts should use the OTel Collector instead.

macOS version Architecture Notes

12 (Monterey) and later

x86 (Intel) and Apple Silicon (ARM64)

Fully supported; ARM64 requires Agent ≥ 7.70.0

11 (Big Sur)

x86 (Intel) and Apple Silicon (ARM64)

ARM64 supported in Agent 7.70.0–7.74.1 only; x86 supported in Agent 7.39.0–7.74.1

10.14 (Mojave)

x86 (Intel) only

Agent 7.39.0–7.61.0 only

10.13 (High Sierra)

x86 (Intel) only

Agent 7 up to 7.38.2 only

10.12 (Sierra)

x86 (Intel) only

Agent 7 up to 7.34.0 only
Apple Silicon Macs running x86 Agent builds via Rosetta 2 emulation are supported as a fallback for versions below 7.70.0.

Unix (AIX)

IBM AIX is supported through the Datadog UNIX Agent — a separate agent build for the POWER (ppc64) architecture, distinct from the Linux, Windows, and macOS Agents.

OS Supported versions Architecture

IBM AIX

6.1 TL9 SP6, 7.1 TL5 SP3, 7.2 TL3 SP0, 7.3 TL3 SP0

POWER (ppc64)
The Datadog UNIX Agent is developed for specific system architectures and is not the same as the Linux, Windows, or macOS Agents. It uses a different installation method and release cadence — see the authoritative Datadog supported platforms documentation for AIX-specific installation details.

Containers and Kubernetes

Platform Supported versions Notes

Docker

1.14 and later

Both AMD64 and ARM64; required for container log and metric collection

Kubernetes

1.3 and later

Both AMD64 and ARM64; DaemonSet + Cluster Agent deployment recommended

Azure Stack HCI OS

All versions

AMD64 only

For Kubernetes-specific deployment instructions, see Datadog Kubernetes Integration.
