Best Practices

最佳实践

1. Use Semantic Versioning

1. 使用语义化版本

yaml
undefined
yaml
undefined

Chart.yaml

Chart.yaml

version: 1.2.3 # MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH appVersion: "2.0.1"
undefined
version: 1.2.3 # 主版本.次版本.修订版本 appVersion: "2.0.1"
undefined

2. Validate Values

2. 验证配置值

json
// values.schema.json
{
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "type": "object",
  "required": ["replicaCount", "image"],
  "properties": {
    "replicaCount": {
      "type": "integer",
      "minimum": 1
    },
    "image": {
      "type": "object",
      "required": ["repository", "tag"],
      "properties": {
        "repository": {"type": "string"},
        "tag": {"type": "string"}
      }
    }
  }
}
json
// values.schema.json
{
  "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "type": "object",
  "required": ["replicaCount", "image"],
  "properties": {
    "replicaCount": {
      "type": "integer",
      "minimum": 1
    },
    "image": {
      "type": "object",
      "required": ["repository", "tag"],
      "properties": {
        "repository": {"type": "string"},
        "tag": {"type": "string"}
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Use Template Functions

3. 使用模板函数

yaml
undefined
yaml
undefined

Use include for labels

使用include引用标签

labels: {{- include "myapp.labels" . | nindent 4 }}
labels: {{- include "myapp.labels" . | nindent 4 }}

Quote strings

为字符串添加引号

value: {{ .Values.config.value | quote }}
value: {{ .Values.config.value | quote }}

Default values

设置默认值

replicas: {{ .Values.replicaCount | default 3 }}
undefined
replicas: {{ .Values.replicaCount | default 3 }}
undefined

4. Config Checksums

4. 配置校验和

yaml
undefined
yaml
undefined

Force pod restart on config change

配置变更时强制重启Pod

annotations: checksum/config: {{ include (print $.Template.BasePath "/configmap.yaml") . | sha256sum }}
undefined
annotations: checksum/config: {{ include (print $.Template.BasePath "/configmap.yaml") . | sha256sum }}
undefined

5. Document Values

5. 配置文档注释

yaml
undefined
yaml
undefined

values.yaml with comments

带注释的values.yaml

Number of replicas to deploy

要部署的副本数量

replicaCount: 3
undefined
replicaCount: 3
undefined

Anti-Patterns

反模式

1. Hardcoded Values:
yaml
undefined
1. 硬编码值:
yaml
undefined

BAD

错误写法

replicas: 3
replicas: 3

GOOD

正确写法

replicas: {{ .Values.replicaCount }}

**2. No Resource Limits:**
```yaml
replicas: {{ .Values.replicaCount }}

**2. 未设置资源限制:**
```yaml

GOOD: Always define resources

正确写法:始终定义资源限制

resources: limits: memory: 512Mi requests: memory: 256Mi

**3. Secrets in Values:**
```yaml
resources: limits: memory: 512Mi requests: memory: 256Mi

**3. 配置中包含密钥:**
```yaml

BAD: Plain secrets in values.yaml

错误写法:在values.yaml中明文存储密钥

GOOD: Use external secret management (Vault, Sealed Secrets)

正确写法:使用外部密钥管理(Vault、Sealed Secrets)

Approach

开发流程

When developing Helm charts:
  1. Start Simple: Use
    helm create
    as template
  2. Parameterize: Make everything configurable
  3. Test Thoroughly: Use
    helm template
    and
    helm lint
  4. Document: Add NOTES.txt and comments
  5. Version: Follow semantic versioning
  6. Dependencies: Manage with Chart.yaml
  7. Security: Never commit secrets
Always create charts that are reusable, maintainable, and production-ready.
开发Helm Chart时:
  1. 从简开始:使用
    helm create
    作为模板
  2. 参数化配置:将所有可配置项参数化
  3. 充分测试:使用
    helm template
    helm lint
    测试
  4. 添加文档:编写NOTES.txt和配置注释
  5. 版本管理:遵循语义化版本规范
  6. 依赖管理:在Chart.yaml中管理依赖
  7. 安全优先:绝不提交密钥到代码库
始终创建可复用、可维护且适用于生产环境的Chart。
