## Milvus Standalone

Milvus Standalone is a single-machine server deployment. All components of Milvus Standalone are packed into a single [Docker image](https://milvus.io/docs/install_standalone-docker.md), making deployment convenient. If you have a production workload but prefer not to use Kubernetes, running Milvus Standalone on a single machine with sufficient memory is a good option.

If you have a production workload but prefer not to use Kubernetes, running Milvus Standalone on a single machine with sufficient memory is a good option. By default, Milvus Standalone runs **Woodpecker** (embedded) as its message queue, so there's no separate messaging service to operate.

Milvus Distributed can be deployed on [Kubernetes](https://milvus.io/docs/install_cluster-milvusoperator.md) clusters. This deployment features a cloud-native architecture, where ingestion load and search queries are separately handled by isolated nodes, allowing redundancy for critical components. It offers the highest scalability and availability, as well as the flexibility in customizing the allocated resources in each component. Milvus Distributed is the top choice for enterprise users running large-scale vector search systems in production.

Regardless of the deployment mode, every Milvus instance relies on a message queue, object storage, and a metadata store — by default **Woodpecker**, **MinIO**, and **etcd**. To learn about these dependencies, tune them, or connect external services, see [Data Infrastructure & Integration](data-infra-integration-overview.md).
