DevOps · Flashcard
A chart with two subcharts is installed. How many releases?
- AOne, because the parent and its subcharts share a release
- BOne per chart, so a subchart can be upgraded on its own
- COne per namespace that any of the resources land in
- DTwo, plus a parent release that tracks the other two
Why this is the answer
Subcharts are not installed separately: their templates are rendered alongside the parent's and everything is applied under a single release with one revision history. That is exactly why you cannot upgrade a subchart independently, and why a subchart's values are set through the parent's values file.
