Release Automation, CD

[arm4b]

https://github.com/stackstorm/stackstorm-enterprise-ha/tree/gh-pages branch was taken to serve chart archives and index metadata via Github pages. See https://github.com/helm/helm/blob/master/docs/chart_repository.md#github-pages-example for more info how it was configured and CNAMEd as https://helm.stackstorm.com/ repo.

Currently it's all done manually as a temporary/fast way to deliver charts via https://helm.stackstorm.com/

The task here is to automate the CI/CD process with CircleCI. So every Github Release (initiated by engineer) will generate the Helm chart metadata in gh-pages.

Possibly look at https://github.com/sstarcher/helm-release for automating versioning based on git tags.

Slightest part of CI story is done via adding Helm & K8s lint checks: https://github.com/StackStorm/stackstorm-enterprise-ha/pull/25

TODO:

Automate the Helm chart deployment for every release release to Github pages via https://github.com/jupyterhub/chartpress

This is currently done manually.

Example: https://github.com/opsdroid/helm-chart/blob/25ffce4a0125823b92eca7f3e3415106d1d808c2/ci/deploy.sh#L17
