Override Helm values at install time
WHAT IT TESTS: Helm values overriding. OUTLINE: pass custom files with -f or --values, single keys with --set, and know precedence: defaults, then files, then --set. RED FLAG: editing the chart templates directly instead of supplying values.
WHAT IT TESTS: whether you know how Helm parameterizes a chart at deploy time. ANSWER OUTLINE: supply a custom values file with -f or --values, or set individual keys inline with --set, for example helm install myapp ./chart -f prod-values.yaml --set image.tag=v2 --set replicaCount=3. Explain precedence: built-in values.yaml defaults are overridden by -f files in order, and --set overrides everything. RED FLAG: editing the chart's templates or default values.yaml directly rather than overriding externally.
