If I run a helm chart like this:

import pulumi
import pulumi_kubernetes as k8s
from pulumi_kubernetes.helm.v3 import Chart, ChartOpts, FetchOpts
very_important_chart = Chart(
    "stakater-reloader",
    ChartOpts(
        chart="reloader",
        version="v1.0.5",
        fetch_opts=FetchOpts(
            repo="<https://stakater.github.io/stakater-charts>",
        )
    ),
)

I confirm resources are installed, great. Let's say we need to know what Pulumi stacks have applied helm charts....

helm ls --all-namespaces --all

My chart isn't listed. I can only see charts installed by

helm cli

directly. This is because

<http://app.kubernetes.io/managed-by|app.kubernetes.io/managed-by>: pulumi

is used instead of

<http://app.kubernetes.io/managed-by|app.kubernetes.io/managed-by>: helm

. Is there a way for Pulumi to list all charts managed in the cluster, or do users have to patch/rewrite the helm CLI (or custom tools) to support looking at other managed-by labels from third parties like pulumi? Not sure if there is an easier way to give some method to inspect the installed charts.

a

helm.Chart

doesn’t install it as a helm release, it uses

helm template

to render the yaml as a standard kubernetes object. if you want the helm release functionality, use

helm.Release

I'm going to dig into helm.Release a bit deeper. Thank you!
