Helm.Charts are our initial implementation and doesn’t use Helm under the hood, which means that not all of Helm’s features are available.

Helm.Release uses Helm as a library and does the exact same thing as Helm CLI

When we use Helm directly, we lose access to transformations, but we can still use them with Chart

<@UCU9C7W73> awesome thanks! So basically if I don't need to do transforms, its better to use the release?
