In an actual chart, all static default values should live in the [[Helm_Chart_values.yaml|values.yaml]], and should not be repeated using the default command (otherwise they would be redundant).

In an actual chart, all static default values should live in the [[Helm_Chart_values.yaml|values.yaml]], and should not be repeated using the default command - if that happens, we will have redundantly specified values. However, the <tt>default</tt> is useful for computed values, which cannot be declared inside [[Helm_Chart_values.yaml|values.yaml]].
