Overriding Default Configuration

Default configuration - or just some values - can be overridden in bulk with:

helm install -f|--values <configuration-overrides-file.yaml> <chart name>

The -f|--values flag can be specified multiple time on the command line, and the rightmost value will take precedence.

Individual configuration options can be specified with --set, --set-string and --set-file. If both --set and --values are used, the --set-specified configuration values are merged into the configuration values specified with --values, with higher precedence. Overrides specified with --set are persisted in a [Kubernetes_Cluster_Configuration_Concepts#ConfigMap|ConfigMap]] and can be viewed for a given release with helm get value <release-name>.
