Declaring Helm sources and releases the Flux way.

Flux Splits the Job

Flux separates concerns into two resources: a HelmRepository defines where charts come from, and a HelmRelease defines what to install.

A HelmRepository tells Flux to poll a chart repo on an interval, caching its index so releases can resolve chart versions.
