Update: I rewritten the instructions and travis CI to use the helm charts only for deployment. Since the GitHub page won't be available until we merge it to master, anyone who wants to test it should use the below commands that use the local helm charts. export NAMESPACE=default
export SHARED_VOLUME_STORAGE_CLASS="ibmc-file-gold";
helm install docs/helm-charts/ibmcloud-object-storage-plugin-0.1.tgz --set namespace=$NAMESPACE
helm install docs/helm-charts/ffdl-helper-0.1.1.tgz --set namespace=$NAMESPACE,shared_volume_storage_class=$SHARED_VOLUME_STORAGE_CLASS --wait
helm install docs/helm-charts/ffdl-core-0.1.1.tgz --set namespace=$NAMESPACE,lcm.shared_volume_storage_class=$SHARED_VOLUME_STORAGE_CLASS --wait |

As many users complaint about the usability of FfDL (a lots of them are regrading the deployment). We might want to deprecate the makefile approach because it's very scripted. Instead, I refactor the helm charts and convert some scripts such as creating the configmaps as part of the helm deployment. I also break down the current 2 helm charts into the below 3
With this approach, we can deprecate the
make deploy/quickstart-deployto using 3 helm commands (Assuming Helm charts are hosted on our GitHub Pages)Having multiple helm charts allow users to delete/rollback their core ffdl charts without touching many of the infrastructure to help the development/testing process faster. This might also help with DLaaS because we can make the ffdl-core helm charts more concise.
Note this is a proposal PR with the helm charts. If we agree to work on this, we need to to deprecate the make deploy and publish the helm charts using GitHub-Pages (Will be published once merged to master branch).
