About Versions in a Chart.yaml File

Each chart contains metadata in its Chart.yaml file.

Let's take a look at the Chart.yaml file for the ttoperator chart. In particular, let's look at the appVersion and version metadata.

apiVersion: v2
appVersion: 22.1.1.19.0
description: A Helm chart for Kubernetes
name: ttoperator
type: application
version: 2211190.1.0

The value of appVersion is the TimesTen release number of the distribution that includes the charts. For example, consider a TimesTen 22.1.1.19.0 release. When you unzip the operator.zip file that is included in the 22.1.1.19.0 release, there are several charts in the operator.zip's helm directory. The value of appVersion in each chart's Chart.yaml file is 22.1.1.19.0.

Similarly, the value of version is set to the TimesTen release number without dots (.) followed by .1.0. For a TimesTen 22.1.1.19.0 release, the value of version in each chart's Chart.yaml file is 2211190.1.0.
