  3. frigate

    Discontinued Frigate is a tool for automatically generating documentation for your Helm charts (by rapidsai)

    The README thing is one of the reasons why I created Frigate.

  4. hull

    The incredible HULL - Helm Uniform Layer Library - is a Helm library chart to improve Helm chart based workflows (by vidispine)

    It may be worthwhile to look at the recently added examles, these are more advanced chart values.yamls from products we are deploying this way. You can see it can be pretty concise to define your applications structure with HULL in comparison.

  5. kapitan-reference

  6. kube-prometheus-k8s-235

    My personal kube-prometheus stack deployment

    If you're interested in customizing kube-prometheus-stack, you should look up the upstream kube-prometheus project written in jsonnet. It's very easy to customize even if you've never touched jsonnet and renders right into a kustomization. Here's my personal customization of kube-prometheus I use in my homelab cluster.
