Description
Feature Request
A yaml anchor is used to propagate environment variables to all pods :
commonEnvVars: &commonEnvVars
<<:
key1: value1
...
# and
yProvider:
envVars:
<<: *commonEnvVars
This means that to override or add an environment variable, a user that uses this chart as a dependency would have to either re-write their own anchors or write the envVars
for every pod.
Plus, while anchors are a yaml standard and usually supported, some tools such as sops do not yet support this.
This means that secret files will have a lot of repetitions.
Describe the solution you'd like
We could instead of using native yaml anchors use a value to hold every environment variable, reusing commonEnvVars
without anchors. Then in every deployment / statefulset we could expand the commonEnvVars
then expand the deployment's specific envVars
.
Describe alternatives you've considered
We could also have a configmap containing the common environment variables that would be envFrom
ed but I think having both an envFrom
and an env
can be misleading.
Discovery, Documentation, Adoption, Migration Strategy
Updating the base values.yaml
should be straightforward for users.
Do you want to work on it through a Pull Request?
Sure, I'll wait for any objection before working on this !
