The Helm Merge-Values plugin enhances Helm's templating capabilities by allowing users to merge multiple values files and command-line overrides seamlessly. This functionality is particularly useful for managing complex configurations across various environments, enabling a more organized and efficient deployment process.
- Merge Multiple Values Files: Combine several YAML files containing Helm values into a single cohesive set.
- Command-Line Overrides: Apply specific value overrides directly via the command line, ensuring flexibility and precision.
- Consistent Templating: Utilizes Helm's native templating engine to ensure consistent and reliable rendering of Kubernetes manifests.
To install the Helm Merge-Values plugin, execute the following command:
helm plugin install https://github.com/nomalord/helm-merge-valuesThe basic syntax for using the plugin is specified in the helm template documentation
Example:
To merge two values files and override a specific value via the command line:
helm merge-values -f values1.yaml -f values2.yaml --set image.tag=2.0.0This command merges values1.yaml and values2.yaml, then sets the image.tag to 2.0.0.
The plugin leverages Helm's template command to process and render templates using the merged values. By integrating directly with Helm's templating engine, it ensures that the rendered manifests are consistent with Helm's standard processing, providing a reliable and predictable output.
- Simplified Configuration Management: Easily manage and merge configurations across different environments or deployment scenarios.
- Enhanced Flexibility: Apply specific overrides without modifying the original values files, maintaining clean and maintainable configurations.
- Seamless Integration: Built to work seamlessly with Helm's existing commands and workflows, ensuring a smooth user experience.
