## Get started

If you want to quickly get started, follow these steps:
1. Spin up an Elastic Stack deployment. You can [try it out for free](https://www.elastic.co/cloud/elasticsearch-service/signup?page=docs&placement=docs-body) on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
2. Install the Elastic Agent. [Elastic Agent](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/observability/current/logs-metrics-get-started.html) is a single, unified way to add monitoring for logs, metrics, and other types of data to a host.
