Helm Charts

Updating the Chart.yaml

The Chart.yaml file requires a version bump for any changes that take place in any helm chart. Both version and appVersion need to be changed.

• The PATCH version field should be changed whenever there is documentation or typo changes made.
• The MINOR version field should be changed whenever there are values add/changed, minor functionality changes in the templates, etc.
• The MAJOR version field should be changed whenever there is a new sensor or product enhancement.

Releases

As part of modern cloud native architecture and development, Helm charts will automatically be updated and released when a pull request is merged.
