Sane, Documented Default Values
Designing values that are safe out of the box.
Defaults Are the First Impression
Most people install your chart with zero overrides, so the default values in values.yaml decide whether it works on the first try or fails confusingly.
Safe Out of the Box
Aim for defaults that install cleanly on a fresh cluster with no surprises. A new user running helm install with no flags should get a working release.
