I use Helm only for installing “supporting applications” -elastic searchoperator, jupyterHub, etc. Our normal deployments are standard K8s configs. These apps use Helm because a lot of the settings are complicated, Co dependent, etc.

Absolutely would not write helm charts from scratch for normal deployments, and if I got these apps in a better format than helm, I’d probably drop it immediately.

It’s the fact that they are complicated which warrants manual configuration. If the org can’t write the configuration, how will they support it when something goes wrong? It’s a problem waiting to happen.

I can't edit this anymore - but to anyone reading, I ought to specify that I do _not_ use Helm directly, only via Flux, our CD tool. It ablates a lot of the issues of dealing with helm charts.
