# APM K8S Attacher
The [APM attacher for Kubernetes](https://docs-v3-preview.elastic.dev/elastic/docs-builder/docs/3016/reference/apm/k8s-attacher) simplifies the instrumentation and configuration of your application pods. The attacher includes a webhook receiver that modifies pods so they are automatically instrumented by an Elastic APM agent.
