Overview

It is OK to add extra files to the Helm chart. These files will be bundled. However, charts must be smaller than 1M because of storage limitation of Kubernetes objects.

The Files object provide access to all non-special files in the chart. It cannot be used to access templates. The access is provided via several functions.
