About Configuring and Deploying the ECE Composable Services

You install the ECE composable services by configuring and deploying their Helm chart. The Helm chart includes YAML template descriptors for all Kubernetes resources and a values.yaml file that provides default configuration values for each chart.

When you install the Helm chart, Helm generates valid Kubernetes manifest files by replacing default values from the values.yaml file with custom values from your override-values.yaml file, and creates Kubernetes resources.

Note:

This documentation uses the override-values.yaml file name for ease of use, but you can name the file whatever you want.
