/ 1 min read

skaffold, k8s, helm

In Skaffold, you can deploy raw manifests or use helm charts. Below shows a custom chart and how it’s included in skaffold.yaml:

skaffold.yaml

apiVersion: skaffold/v4beta12
kind: Config
metadata:
  name: skaffoldapp
build:
  artifacts:
  # ...
deploy:
  helm:
    releases:
      - name: api
        chartPath: k8s/charts/api
        valuesFiles:
          - skaffold-global-values.yaml
