APIVersion of the referent.

Kind of the referent.

Name of the referent.

Namespace of the referent.

APIVersion of the referent.

Kind of the referent.

Name of the referent.

Namespace of the referent, defaults to the namespace of the Kubernetes resource object that contains the reference.

Mode defines how differences should be handled between the Helm manifest and the manifest currently applied to the cluster. If not explicitly set, it defaults to DiffModeDisabled.

Ignore contains a list of rules for specifying which changes to ignore during diffing.

Name is the name of the test.

Exclude specifies whether the named test should be excluded.

ObjectMeta holds the template for metadata like labels and annotations.

Spec holds the template for the v1.HelmChartSpec for this HelmRelease.

Map of string keys and values that can be used to organize and categorize (scope and select) objects. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/labels/

Annotations is an unstructured key value map stored with a resource that may be set by external tools to store and retrieve arbitrary metadata. They are not queryable and should be preserved when modifying objects. More info: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/annotations/

The name or path the Helm chart is available at in the SourceRef.

Version semver expression, ignored for charts from v1.GitRepository and v1beta2.Bucket sources. Defaults to latest when omitted.

The name and namespace of the v1.Source the chart is available at.

Interval at which to check the v1.Source for updates. Defaults to ‘HelmReleaseSpec.Interval’.

Determines what enables the creation of a new artifact. Valid values are (‘ChartVersion’, ‘Revision’). See the documentation of the values for an explanation on their behavior. Defaults to ChartVersion when omitted.

Alternative list of values files to use as the chart values (values.yaml is not included by default), expected to be a relative path in the SourceRef. Values files are merged in the order of this list with the last file overriding the first. Ignored when omitted.

IgnoreMissingValuesFiles controls whether to silently ignore missing values files rather than failing.

Verify contains the secret name containing the trusted public keys used to verify the signature and specifies which provider to use to check whether OCI image is authentic. This field is only supported for OCI sources. Chart dependencies, which are not bundled in the umbrella chart artifact, are not verified.

Provider specifies the technology used to sign the OCI Helm chart.

SecretRef specifies the Kubernetes Secret containing the trusted public keys.

Chart defines the template of the v1.HelmChart that should be created for this HelmRelease.

ChartRef holds a reference to a source controller resource containing the Helm chart artifact.

Interval at which to reconcile the Helm release.

KubeConfig for reconciling the HelmRelease on a remote cluster. When used in combination with HelmReleaseSpec.ServiceAccountName, forces the controller to act on behalf of that Service Account at the target cluster. If the –default-service-account flag is set, its value will be used as a controller level fallback for when HelmReleaseSpec.ServiceAccountName is empty.

Suspend tells the controller to suspend reconciliation for this HelmRelease, it does not apply to already started reconciliations. Defaults to false.

ReleaseName used for the Helm release. Defaults to a composition of ‘[TargetNamespace-]Name’.

TargetNamespace to target when performing operations for the HelmRelease. Defaults to the namespace of the HelmRelease.

StorageNamespace used for the Helm storage. Defaults to the namespace of the HelmRelease.

DependsOn may contain a meta.NamespacedObjectReference slice with references to HelmRelease resources that must be ready before this HelmRelease can be reconciled.

Timeout is the time to wait for any individual Kubernetes operation (like Jobs for hooks) during the performance of a Helm action. Defaults to ‘5m0s’.

MaxHistory is the number of revisions saved by Helm for this HelmRelease. Use ‘0’ for an unlimited number of revisions; defaults to ‘5’.

The name of the Kubernetes service account to impersonate when reconciling this HelmRelease.

PersistentClient tells the controller to use a persistent Kubernetes client for this release. When enabled, the client will be reused for the duration of the reconciliation, instead of being created and destroyed for each (step of a) Helm action.

This can improve performance, but may cause issues with some Helm charts that for example do create Custom Resource Definitions during installation outside Helm’s CRD lifecycle hooks, which are then not observed to be available by e.g. post-install hooks.

If not set, it defaults to true.

UpgradeFailures is the upgrade failure count against the latest desired state. It is reset after a successful reconciliation.

LastAttemptedRevision is the Source revision of the last reconciliation attempt. For OCIRepository sources, the 12 first characters of the digest are appended to the chart version e.g. “1.2.3+1234567890ab”.

LastAttemptedRevisionDigest is the digest of the last reconciliation attempt. This is only set for OCIRepository sources.

LastAttemptedValuesChecksum is the SHA1 checksum for the values of the last reconciliation attempt. Deprecated: Use LastAttemptedConfigDigest instead.

LastReleaseRevision is the revision of the last successful Helm release. Deprecated: Use History instead.

LastAttemptedConfigDigest is the digest for the config (better known as “values”) of the last reconciliation attempt.

LastHandledForceAt holds the value of the most recent force request value, so a change of the annotation value can be detected.

(Members of ReconcileRequestStatus are embedded into this type.)

Paths is a list of JSON Pointer (RFC 6901) paths to be excluded from consideration in a Kubernetes object.

CreateNamespace tells the Helm install action to create the HelmReleaseSpec.TargetNamespace if it does not exist yet. On uninstall, the namespace will not be garbage collected.

DeletionPropagation specifies the deletion propagation policy when a Helm uninstall is performed.

Timeout is the time to wait for any individual Kubernetes operation (like Jobs for hooks) during the performance of a Helm upgrade action. Defaults to ‘HelmReleaseSpec.Timeout’.

Remediation holds the remediation configuration for when the Helm upgrade action for the HelmRelease fails. The default is to not perform any action.

CreateReplace: new CRDs are created, existing CRDs are updated (replaced) but not deleted.

By default, CRDs are not applied during Helm upgrade action. With this option users can opt-in to CRD upgrade, which is not (yet) natively supported by Helm. https://helm.sh/docs/chart_best_practices/custom_resource_definitions.

Retries is the number of retries that should be attempted on failures before bailing. Remediation, using ‘Strategy’, is performed between each attempt. Defaults to ‘0’, a negative integer equals to unlimited retries.

IgnoreTestFailures tells the controller to skip remediation when the Helm tests are run after an upgrade action but fail. Defaults to ‘Test.IgnoreFailures’.

Kind of the values referent, valid values are (‘Secret’, ‘ConfigMap’).

Name of the values referent. Should reside in the same namespace as the referring resource.

ValuesKey is the data key where the values.yaml or a specific value can be found at. Defaults to ‘values.yaml’.

TargetPath is the YAML dot notation path the value should be merged at. When set, the ValuesKey is expected to be a single flat value. Defaults to ‘None’, which results in the values getting merged at the root.

Optional marks this ValuesReference as optional. When set, a not found error for the values reference is ignored, but any ValuesKey, TargetPath or transient error will still result in a reconciliation failure.
