# Updating charts and values.yaml

## Acceptable Pull Requests

Helm charts `values.yaml` represent a complex user facing API that tends to grow uncontrollably over time
due to design choices in Helm.
The underlying Kubernetes resources we configure have 1000s of fields; given enough users and bespoke use cases,
eventually someone will want to customize every one of those fields.

    - ip6tables
    - libnetfilter_conntrack
    - libnfnetlink
    - libmnl
    - libgcc
archs:
  - x86_64
  - aarch64
paths:
- path: /run
  type: directory
  permissions: 0o755
accounts:
  users:
    - username: nonroot
      uid: 65532
    - username: nobody
      uid: 65534
  run-as: 65532

As a result, users still need to ensure they install the appropriate charts to use a profile correctly.

by a different role than the prod version.

The intended users of this repo are users running Istio in production who want to select, tune
and understand each binary that gets deployed, and select which combination to use.

1. The builtin values.yaml defaults
2. The profile the user selects
3. Users input (-f or --set)

Unfortunately, Helm provides us (1) and (3) together (as .Values), making it hard to insert (2).

However, we can workaround this by placing all of (1) under a specific key (.Values.defaults).
We can then merge the profile onto the defaults, then the user settings onto that.
