Parameter Templates

You can use the parameter template to override Helm* chart values when deploying an application. These values are profile-specific and are typically known to the developer. You may need to change some overridden values, or define confidential values as secret, before deployment.

For example, if your application needs a valid IP address to run, you can create a parameter template for the IP address so that unless you provide the IP address, the application will not be deployed.

To add a parameter template:

1. Populate the Chart values field when you add an application profile.

2. In Advanced Settings, select Yes to allow users to override selected profile values at deployment time.

3. Click on the add button to add a parameter template. Note: you can only select a value that is already in the chart values field that you populated in step 1.

4. Once completed, click “Add Profile” to create and add the profile.
