How to upgrade the Vault Package chart💣

kpt pkg update chart/@{TAG} --strategy alpha-git-patch

or

kpt pkg update chart/@{TAG} --strategy force-delete-replace

or

Meld UI

BigBang makes modifications to the upstream helm chart. The full list of changes is at the end of this document.

Testing new Vault version💣

  1. Create a k8s dev environment. One option is to use the Big Bang k3d-dev.sh with no arguments which will give you the default configuration. The following steps assume you are using the script.
  2. Follow the instructions at the end of the script to connect to the k8s cluster and install flux.
  3. Deploy Vault with these dev values overrides. Core apps are disabled for quick deployment.
