This project tries to picture helm as an kubernetes api extension. This operator manages helm repositories, charts, releases and values in a declarative way.
Through a custom resource for values reusing of them in different releases with same sub specifications is one feature. Go to values for details.
Another feature is to use kubernetes rbac and a resource for configuration to restrict and configure the usage in a kubernetes cluster. Go to configuration for details.
Files, metadata and default values are stored as binary data in configmaps. So there are no local files which could differ in multiple workstations. Go to architecture for details.
