It is advised to keep this file save as it contains passwords and access credentials.

Use the values to install a new instance​

Depending on your use case, you may need to change some settings from the values.yaml file before using it to install a new platform instance. The most common use cases:

  • Change the domainSuffix.

  • Change the team service URLs.

  • Change the access credentials to cloud resources.

Once the values.yaml file is ready you can use Helm to install the platform on a new Kubernetes cluster:

helm install -f values.yaml apl apl/apl
