For deploying the OpenTelemetry Collector with a mixed deployed composed of one Daemonset OpenTelemetry Collector - for collecting general application metrics - and a Deployment with single replica - for collecting insfrastructure targets , follow the example helm values inside collector_k8s/values-daemonset.yaml.
