Deploy multiple releases with Helm

You can deploy multiple releases with skaffold, each will need a chartPath, a values file, and namespace. Skaffold can inject intermediate build tags in the the values map in the skaffold.yaml.

Let’s walk through the skaffold yaml

We’ll be building an image called skaffold-helm, and its a dockerfile, so we’ll add it to the artifacts.

build:
  artifacts:
  - imageName: skaffold-helm

Now, we want to deploy this image with helm. We add a new release in the helm part of the deploy stanza.

deploy:
  helm:
    releases:
    - name: skaffold-helm
      chartPath: skaffold-helm
      namespace: skaffold
      values:
        image: skaffold-helm

This part tells skaffold to set the image parameter of the values file to the built skaffold-helm image and tag.

      values:
        image: skaffold-helm
