Hello,

Found this in the documentation that when you deploy a fleetserver on  
ECE, you also need to start an Integration node.  
This is not needed for the regular elastic stack.

> **[Deploy on-premises and self-managed | Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide \[8.5\] |...](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/8.5/add-fleet-server-on-prem.html)**

Can anybody explain this a little more? Is this needed for Docler?

Hi Stobee,

Integration node in ECE basically refers to elastic node with fleet server and APM server role.  
The prerequisites in ECE is to have the integration node deployed, where self-managed/on-prime needs to deploy and configure fleet/APM server manually.

Refer to this for more information on integration node.
