Story (Required)

The issue is an investigation around argoCD and helm charts. Our goal is to see if it's possible to replace kustomize with helm charts in ai-lab-app repo, so the ai-lab-app and the ai-lab-helm-charts are using the same format (e.g Helm Charts). This will make the conversion process far more easy so we can quickly fetch the content for the helm charts directly from the code used for the ai software templates.

Background (Required)

The issue was reported inside the investigation report made for DEVAI-245: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LfSJldyrMgfvZIehrJYs_BULVimfVhV6cWOEajYTeJo/edit?tab=t.0

Our current format includes kustomize manifests instead of helm charts. We would like to explore the options for converting the ai-lab-app manifests into helm charts. A good link for more information is: https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide/helm/

Out of scope

Only the investigation around argoCD and helm charts format is inside of the scope. The implementation is out of scope.
