helm chart for kube-ingress-aws-controller
I am wondering why there is no helm chart for this. This seems a widely accepted solution for ingress. Using a helm chart will make it more easy to deploy and distribute.
@rverma-nikiai thanks for your request, the helm chart was done by users and reviewed by me at https://github.com/helm/charts/pull/4538#issuecomment-467472040, but since charts only run in GKE and AWS does not care about providing infrastructure or the helm maintainers do not care to ask about getting infrastructure from AWS (I don't have evidence and I tried to connect people from AWS with the helm project without any progress from my point of view). One other case which I find more important is that helm is not a good product for production use cases and should not be used anyways. There were many reported problems with running tiller, that created downtimes, so maybe render the chart locally from the mentioned PR.
If you want to help you can also create a PR with the helm chart into our repository here, somewhere in https://github.com/zalando-incubator/kube-ingress-aws-controller/tree/master/deploy would be a good fit.
I hope I answered the why and showed where to get a helm chart.
@szuecs we can try possibly rolling this out to incubator directory https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/incubator
I have/had a working chart ( https://github.com/baez90/kube-ingress-aws-controller-helm ). I didn't use it for a while so it is "completely" outdated and I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of improvements possible but might be useful as a base.
Feel free to recycle it if you want to :wink:
@rverma-nikiai I am not owner of the helm chart and I do not really want to maintain it. Feel free to apply one of these in the helm incubator and I can also review it, but I won't make sure that it will run with newer versions.
history of a helm chart https://github.com/helm/charts/pull/4538
https://github.com/baez90/kube-ingress-aws-controller-helm is available but unchanged since 2 years.
@MarcusNoble I think you had somewhere a helm chart, right? Maybe we can just point to yours in our documentation and close this issue
Unfortuantely the one we have is bespoke to our org (a bunch of fixed config etc.) and only available on our internal source control.
