Helm Charts

Helm charts are used for deploying complex Kubernetes applications with templated manifests and configurable values.

Usage

# Install a chart
helm install <release-name> <chart-path> -n <namespace> -f values.yaml

# Upgrade a release
helm upgrade <release-name> <chart-path> -n <namespace> -f values.yaml

# List releases
helm list -A

# Check release status
helm status <release-name> -n <namespace>

# View rendered templates (dry run)
helm template <release-name> <chart-path> -f values.yaml

# Rollback to previous revision
helm rollback <release-name> <revision> -n <namespace>

Values Files

Each chart uses values files for environment-specific configuration:

charts/core-platform/
├── Chart.yaml
├── templates/
│   ├── deployment.yaml
│   ├── service.yaml
│   ├── ingress.yaml
│   └── ...
├── values.yaml              # Default values
├── values-dev.yaml          # Development overrides
├── values-staging.yaml      # Staging overrides
└── values-prod.yaml         # Production overrides

Deploy with environment-specific values:

# Development
helm upgrade --install idp-dev ./charts/core-platform \
  -n idp-dev -f values.yaml -f values-dev.yaml

# Production
helm upgrade --install idp ./charts/core-platform \
  -n idp -f values.yaml -f values-prod.yaml

Third-Party Helm Charts

In addition to custom charts, several third-party Helm charts are likely in use for infrastructure services (installed via helm install or ArgoCD):

Chart	Repository	Namespace	Notes
authentik	goauthentik/authentik	authentik	SSO provider
vault	hashicorp/vault	vault	Secrets management
harbor	goharbor/harbor	registry	Container registry
longhorn	longhornio/longhorn	longhorn-system	Distributed storage
linkerd	linkerd/linkerd2	linkerd	Service mesh
cert-manager	jetstack/cert-manager	cert-manager	TLS automation
prometheus-stack	prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack	monitoring	Full observability

Note: Verify actual installations with helm list -A. The above are inferred from deployed services.
