Helm charts and Helmfile

And now I can just run dudo -l "https://github.com/helmfile/helmfile/releases/download/v{{ version }}/helmfile_{{ version }}_{{ os }}_{{ arch }}.tar.gz" -i /tmp/helmfile.tar.gz -p $HELMFILE_VERSION

I might be misunderstanding your question but we use https://github.com/helmfile/helmfile along with Argo, so essentially between eks and those I could rebuild our entire cluster in minutes.

I am asking which do you choose, Flux or Helmfile. edit: and what criteria do you use to select.

do you publish your own helm chart for your internal services and use it in every environment? if so, you could try to use helmfile within the service's repo itself and store values in a helm/$env directory. then enhance your ci to deploy to dev after the merge/image build phase directly. to try and cut out what sounds like a "deployment/config repo" step you have in the middle that's making everything a pain.

I've used helmfile before to declaratively manage multiple helm charts. It's a higher-level tool, and still uses helm under the hood.

I just spoke with one of the k8s-at-home guys, and he hadn't heard of Helmet either, but he recommended this: https://github.com/bjw-s/helm-charts which has a bit more miles on it, formerly it was published as: https://github.com/k8s-at-home/library-charts – this is in thousands of charts, from what I can tell.

Library charts. A very thorough example can be seen here and usages of it here.
