+### Environment specific setup
+
+#### Host
+
+1. Download the appropriate binary from [the project repository latest release][11].
+
+2. Create a `otel_collector_config.yaml` file. [Here is an example template](#ingesting-opentelemetry-traces-with-the-collector) to get started. It enables the collector's OTLP Receiver and Datadog Exporter.
+
+3. Run the download on the host, specifying  the configration yaml file set via the `--config` parameter. For example:
+
+  ```
+    otelcontribcol_linux_amd64 --config otel_collector_config.yaml
+  ```
+
+#### Docker
+
+Run an Opentelemetry Collector container to receive traces either from the [installed host](#receive-traces-from-host), or from [other containers](#receive-traces-from-other-containers).
+
+##### Receive traces from host
+
+1. Create a `otel_collector_config.yaml` file. [Here is an example template](#ingesting-opentelemetry-traces-with-the-collector) to get started. It enables the collector's OTLP receiver and the Datadog exporter.
+
+2. Choose a published Docker image such as [`otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:latest`][12].
+
+3.  Determine which ports to open on your container. OpenTelemetry traces are sent to the OpenTelemetry Collector over TCP or UDP on a number of ports, which must be exposed on the container.  By default, traces are sent over OTLP/gRPC on port `55680`, but common protocols and their ports include: 
+
+  - Zipkin/HTTP on port `9411`
+  - Jaeger/gRPC on port `14250`
+  - Jaeger/HTTP on port `14268`
+  - Jaeger/Compact on port (UDP) `6831` 
+  - OTLP/gRPC on port `55680`
+  - OTLP/HTTP on port `55681`
+
+4. Run the container with the configured ports and an `otel_collector_config.yaml` file. For example:
+
+  ```
+   $ docker run \
+    -p 55680:55680 \
+    -v $(pwd)/otel_collector_config.yaml:/etc/otel/config.yaml \
+    otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib
+  ```
+
+5. Configure your application with the appropriate resource attributes for unified service tagging by [adding metadata](#opentelemetry-collector-datadog-exporter)
+
+##### Receive traces from other containers
+
+1. Create an `otel_collector_config.yaml` file. [Here is an example template](#ingesting-opentelemetry-traces-with-the-collector) to get started. It enables the collector's OTLP receiver and Datadog exporter.
+
+
+2. Configure your application with the appropriate resource attributes for unified service tagging by adding the metadata [described here](#opentelemetry-collector-datadog-exporter)
+
+3. Create a docker network:
+
+  `docker network create <NETWORK_NAME>`
+
+4. Run the OpenTelemetry Collector container and application container in the same network. **Note**: When running the application container, ensure the environment variable `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` is configured to use the appropriate hostname for the OpenTelemetry Collector. In the example below, this is `opentelemetry-collector`.
+
+  ```
+  # Datadog Agent
+  docker run -d --name opentelemetry-collector \
+            --network <NETWORK_NAME> \
+            -v $(pwd)/otel_collector_config.yaml:/etc/otel/config.yaml \
+            otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib
+
+  # Application
+  docker run -d --name app \
+            --network <NETWORK_NAME> \
+            -e OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://opentelemetry-collector:55680 \
+            company/app:latest
+  ```
+
+#### Kubernetes
+
+The OpenTelemetry Collector can be run in two types of [deployment scenarios][13]:
+
+- As an OpenTelemetry Collector agent running on the same host as the application in a sidecar or daemonset; or 
+
+- As a standalone service, for example a container or deployment, typically per-cluster, per-datacenter, or per-region.
+
+To accurately track the appropriate metadata in Datadog, run the OpenTelemetry Collector in agent mode on each of the Kubernetes nodes.
+
+When deploying the OpenTelemetry Collector as a daemonset, refer to [the example configuration below](#opentelemetry-kubernetes-example-collector-configuration) as a guide.
+
+On the application container, use the downward API to pull the host IP. The application container needs an environment variable that points to `status.hostIP`. The OpenTelemetry Application SDKs expect this to be named `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`. Use the [below example snippet](#opentelemetry-kubernetes-example-application-configuration) as a guide.
+
+##### Example Kubernetes OpenTelemetry Collector configuration
+
+A full example Kubernetes manifest for deploying the OpenTelemetry Collector as both daemonset and standalone collector [can be found here][14]. Modify the example to suit your environment. The key sections that are specific to Datadog are as follows:
+
+1. The example demonstrates deploying the OpenTelemetry Collectors in [agent mode via daemonset][15], which collect relevant k8s node and pod specific metadata, and then forward telemetry data to an OpenTelemetry Collector in [standalone collector mode][16]. This OpenTelemetry Collector in standalone collector mode then exports to the Datadog backend. See [this diagram of this deployment model][17].
+
+2. For OpenTelemetry Collectors deployed as agent via daemonset, in the daemonset, `spec.containers.env` should use the downward API to capture `status.podIP` and add it as part of the `OTEL_RESOURCE` environment variable. This is used by the OpenTelemetry Collector's `resourcedetection` and `k8s_tagger` processors, which should be included along with a `batch` processor and added to the `traces` pipeline.
+
+    In the daemonset's `spec.containers.env` section:
+
+    ```yaml
+      # ...
+      env:
+         # Get pod ip so that k8s_tagger can tag resources
+        - name: POD_IP
+          valueFrom:
+            fieldRef:
+              fieldPath: status.podIP
+          # This is picked up by the resource detector
+        - name: OTEL_RESOURCE
+          value: "k8s.pod.ip=$(POD_IP)"
+      # ...
+    ```
+
+    In the `otel-agent-conf` ConfigMap's `data.otel-agent-config` `processors` section:
+
+    ```yaml
+      # ...
+      # The resource detector injects the pod IP
+      # to every metric so that the k8s_tagger can
+      # fetch information afterwards.
+      resourcedetection:
+        detectors: [env]
+        timeout: 5s
+        override: false
+      # The k8s_tagger in the Agent is in passthrough mode
+      # so that it only tags with the minimal info for the
+      # collector k8s_tagger to complete
+      k8s_tagger:
+        passthrough: true
+      batch:
+      # ...
+    ```
+
+    In the `otel-agent-conf` ConfigMap's `data.otel-agent-config` `service.pipelines.traces` section:
+
+    ```yaml
+      # ...
+      # resourcedetection must come before k8s_tagger
+      processors: [resourcedetection, k8s_tagger, batch]
+      # ...
+    ```
+
+3. For OpenTelemetry Collectors in standalone collector mode, which receive traces from downstream collectors and export to Datadog's backend, include a `batch` processor configured with a `timeout` of `10s` as well as the `k8s_tagger` enabled. These should be included along with the `datadog` exporter and added to the `traces` pipeline.
+
+    In the `otel-collector-conf` ConfigMap's `data.otel-collector-config` `processors` section:
+
+    ```yaml
+      # ...
+      batch:
+        timeout: 10s
+      k8s_tagger:
+      # ...
+    ```
+
+    In the `otel-collector-conf` ConfigMap's `data.otel-collector-config` `exporters` section:
+
+    ```yaml
+      exporters:
+        datadog:
+          api:
+            key: <YOUR_API_KEY>
+    ```
+
+    In the `otel-collector-conf` ConfigMap's `data.otel-collector-config` `service.pipelines.traces` section:
+
+    ```yaml
+      # ...
+      processors: [k8s_tagger, batch]
+      exporters: [datadog]
+      # ...
+    ```
+
+##### Example Kubernetes OpenTelemetry application configuration
+
+In addition to the OpenTelemetry Collector configuration, ensure that OpenTelemetry SDKs that are installed in an application transmit telemetry data to the collector, by configuring the environment variable `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` with the host IP. Use the downward API to pull the host IP, and set it as an environment variable, which is then interpolated when setting the `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` environment variable:
+
+```
+apiVersion: apps/v1
+kind: Deployment
+...
+spec:
+  containers:
+  - name: <CONTAINER_NAME>
+    image: <CONTAINER_IMAGE>/<TAG>
+    env:
+      - name: HOST_IP
+        valueFrom:
+          fieldRef:
+            fieldPath: status.hostIP
+        # This is picked up by the opentelemetry sdks
+      - name: OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT
+        value: "http://$(HOST_IP):55680"
+```
