Can I use this for managing secrets?

Yes, the skill outlines strategies for handling secrets, including using external secrets or separate values files that are not committed to version control.

What is the benefit of using values.schema.json?

Schema validation ensures that the values provided to your Helm charts are of the correct type and within allowed ranges, preventing runtime failures during deployment.

How does this skill help with Kubernetes deployments?

It provides standardized patterns for managing Helm values, ensuring configurations are reusable, environment-aware, and follow industry best practices.

How does Helm handle multiple values files?

Helm merges files in the order they are specified; values in later files override those in earlier ones, allowing for a clean 'base plus environment' configuration strategy.
