Question

A team deploys an application with Helm. The chart's values.yaml sets replicaCount: 2. They also maintain a prod-values.yaml file that sets replicaCount: 4. During a release they run: helm install myapp ./chart -f prod-values.yaml --set replicaCount: 6. How many replicas will the rendered Deployment request?

Accepted Answer

6, because --set has the highest precedence over both values files

Answer

2, because the chart's built-in values.yaml always takes highest priority

Answer

4, because a values file supplied with -f overrides everything else

Answer

The install fails because replicaCount is defined in three conflicting places
