Maybe <@UE1LN7A22> will be able to give some guidance when he’s around

He’s one of our core Pulumi-Kubernetes team

If he could discuss maybe he can elucidate a pattern that would work well for what I'm trying to accomplish. Thanks

If I understand your question correctly, you can control configuration of Helm charts using the `values` field. <https://www.pulumi.com/docs/reference/pkg/kubernetes/helm/v3/chart/#set-chart-values>

You can control the values of that parameter via pulumi config settings or through logic in the program, so that should give you quite a bit of flexibility.

Hi <@UE1LN7A22>, yes I can set values with the values field.

However I'm wondering how I can provide the mappings easily from a source file? Can we just read a helm yaml file into a dictionary with yaml.load() , and pass this to values?

Furthermore is the behavior identical to the helm --values file.yaml /path/to/chart? IE merging with the charts built in yaml?

Otherwise I also tried loading a configuration from helm yaml into pulumi with Config.getObject, but it didn't seem to raise an exception.

Yes, I think that would work.

Yes, those values are merged onto the default `values.yaml` file.

There are a couple open issues related to helm values files:
<https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes/issues/659>
<https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-kubernetes/issues/1251>

Thanks <@UE1LN7A22> I'll try to see if I can make this work. Regarding some feedback, I think it might be valuable to pass through `ConfigFile` and also config loading for these helm configurations so they can be used along with other configurations.
