Defining Releases in helmfile.yaml

Listing charts, namespaces, and values per release.

The releases List

The heart of a helmfile.yaml is the releases list. Each item describes one Helm release you want running in the cluster.

releases:
  - name: web
    namespace: frontend
    chart: ./charts/web

Every release needs a name and a chart. The name is the Helm release name; the chart points to a local path or a repo chart.

- name: api
  chart: ./charts/api
