Problem:

As a Chart author, I'd like to automate the release and publication to the Red Hat registry - so each time I do a release of my application, it gets pushed onto a specified Chart Repository and gets ready for publication on OpenShift.

In this context, we want to help a Chart author to validate his Chart against the best practices we are recommending and requiring on Helm Charts so they can safely run on OpenShift.

Pre-requisites:

• The Developer already has an Helm Chart available for his application
• The Developer already has a Helm Chart Repository

Goal:

Provide a GitHub action that will allow a Chart author to:

• Ensure no mis-configuration of the Helm Chart, using and leveraging Chart Verifier
• Test the Helm Chart

• • run Chart testing
  • run tests against specific version(s) of OpenShift
• Create the pull request to the registry to update the Chart (run Chart releasing action)

Why is it important?

Helping Chart Authors to maintain their Charts quality standards + testing them against specific version(s) of OpenShift.

Use cases:

• Customers willing to follow OpenShift best practices for Helm Chart
• Partners willing to provide Certified Helm Charts on the Red Hat OpenShift Helm Chart repository
• Internal teams, who are willing to provide Helm Charts on the OpenShift Helm Chart repository

TBD
