Helmsman Deploy-Time

Built Once, Deployed Many

This example is the deploy time process for Helmsman, although it is fundamentally the same for Helmfile. The tokenised application stack declaration is de-tokenised to apply the correct name_space at deploy time.

helm.tsk

sed -i -- "s•name_space•*****•g" ranger.yaml

the resulting deployment

helmsman --apply -f ranger.yaml ranger-chart
