ESS Community Helm Chart 26.11.1 (2026-11-11)

Added

• Add support for extraObjects to render arbitrary additional resources into the cluster.

  e.g.

  extraObjects:
    onlyString: |
      apiVersion: v1
      kind: ConfigMap
      metadata:
        name: {{ $.Release.Name }}-extra
        namespace: {{ $.Release.Namespace }}
        labels:
          {{- include "element-io.ess-library.labels.common" (dict "root" $ "context" .) | nindent 4 }}
      data:
        foo: bar
  
    listOfStrings:
    - |
      apiVersion: v1
      kind: LimitRange
      metadata:
        name: {{ $.Release.Name }}-limits
        namespace: {{ $.Release.Namespace }}
      spec:
        limits:
        - default:
            cpu: 2
          defaultRequest:
            cpu: 2
          type: Container
    - |
      apiVersion: v1
      kind: ResourceQuota
      metadata:
        name: {{ $.Release.Name }}-limits
        namespace: {{ $.Release.Namespace }}
      spec:
        hard:
          requests.cpu: "1"
          requests.memory: 1Gi
          limits.cpu: "2"
          limits.memory: 2Gi

  Would render a ConfigMap, a LimitRange and a ResourceQuota into the same Namespace as the ESS installation, with the same release name prefix. (#1763)
