Deployment in Azure

In Microsoft Azure, the three supported deployment models for Seq are:

  • Using a Virtual Machine — installing Seq on a Windows or Linux virtual machine provides the most flexibility, robustness, and ease of management
  • Using Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) — for organizations equipped with the skills required for Kubernetes deployment, an example Seq Helm Chart provides a ready-made starting point that integrates smoothly into Kubernetes environments
  • Using Azure Container Instances (ACI) — this serverless option is great for Docker container hosting under light-to-medium workloads

Azure Websites, Container Apps, and App Service are not suitable for hosting Seq.

When running Seq on Microsoft Azure, only Azure Disks (mounted VHDs) and Azure Premium Files volumes are recommended for persistent storage. Non-Premium Azure Files storage lacks critical robustness features needed by Seq.
