How to Change Variables for an Environment and Redeploy with Updated Variables?
KubeRocketCI leverages Helm charts for application deployments, with each application repository including a Helm chart located in the deploy-templates folder. This chart defines the default parameters used during deployment.
To customize parameters for a specific environment, a values.yaml file is utilized. This file provides flexibility by allowing environment-specific configurations without altering the default settings. Instead of modifying parameters directly within the deploy-templates directory, which we strongly discourage, a structured approach is followed by managing the values.yaml file in the krci-gitops repository. This ensures a clean and maintainable configuration process for Helm chart deployments.
Do not store sensitive information (e.g., passwords, API keys) in the values.yaml file. Instead, use a secret management tool like External Secret Operator or Vault by HashiCorp to handle sensitive data securely.
Redefining Helm chart configuration using the Values Override option is described in the Deploying Feature Branches with KubeRocketCI page.
