Configuring Helm

If a project is deployed to a Kubernetes cluster with a Helm chart, FlexDeploy can do that automatically according to the configurations on this tab:

The screen contains a reference to a chart which can be a chart in the repository configured on the deploying endpoint, a folder with a chart, a chart package or URL.

Optionally, a Helm Release name can be provided to easily track all deployments on the endpoint. If it is unspecified, helm will generate a random name.

In order to deploy a helm chart to a K8s cluster, FlexDeploy uses the deploy operation of Helm plugin, which invokes helm upgrade --install command under the hood. So, the deployment workflow should contain a step as in this example:

FlexDeploy overrides values of the chart with the values configured in the Chart Values list. These values are specified with Groovy scripts evaluated on-the-fly during the deployment. The scripts may reference any Project or Environment-Instance (available for the project) properties.
