Answer from AI
The standard folder structure of a Helm chart looks like this:
mychart/ # root folder of the chart
Chart.yaml # chart metadata (name, version, description)
values.yaml # default parameter values
charts/ # folder for dependencies (subcharts)
templates/ # Kubernetes manifest templates
templates/_helpers.tpl # helper templates (functions)
- Chart.yaml — a mandatory file with the chart description.
- values.yaml — contains default values that can be overridden during installation.
- charts/ — place other charts that this chart depends on.
- templates/ — templates that Helm renders into Kubernetes manifests.
This structure allows for convenient management of configuration and templates for deploying applications in Kubernetes using Helm.
