Generic

A multi-purpose Helm chart that can deploy virtually any container workload on Kubernetes. Instead of writing boilerplate templates for each application, the Generic chart lets you configure everything through values.yaml.

Key Features

• Multiple workload types — Deployment, StatefulSet, DaemonSet, Job, CronJob
• Flexible container configuration — Ports, environment variables, volumes, probes
• Ingress support — Configurable with ingressClassName and TLS
• Service accounts — Create or reference existing service accounts
• Init containers and sidecars — Full support for multi-container pods
• HPA and PDB — Autoscaling and disruption budgets
