Helm Based Operator Watches

The Watches file contains a list of mappings from custom resources, identified by it’s Group, Version, and Kind, to a Helm chart. The Operator expects this mapping file in a predefined location: /opt/helm/watches.yaml

• group: The group of the Custom Resource that you will be watching.
• version: The version of the Custom Resource that you will be watching.
• kind: The kind of the Custom Resource that you will be watching.
• chart: Specifies a chart to be executed.
• watchDependentResources: Allows the helm operator to dynamically watch resources that are created by helm (default: true).
• overrideValues: Values to be used for overriding Helm chart’s defaults. For additional information. Please refer to Using override values and passing environment variables to the Helm chart.

An example Watches file:

---
# Simple example mapping Foo to the Foo chart
- version: v1alpha1
  group: foo.example.com
  kind: Foo
  chart: helm-charts/foo
