When choosing the release name for a custom Helm 3 chart, consider the following guidelines:
- Use a descriptive name: Choose a name that clearly represents the purpose or function of the chart. This will make it easier for administrators or developers to identify and manage releases.
- Be consistent: If you have multiple charts or releases, try to maintain consistency in your naming conventions. This can help with organization and clarity, especially when working with multiple teams or environments.
- Avoid using generic names: Choose a name that is unique to your project or organization to avoid potential conflicts with other charts.
- Keep it short and meaningful: While being descriptive is important, try to keep the name concise and meaningful. Long names can become cumbersome and less readable.
- Consider using a combination of project name and release purpose: You may include the project name or abbreviation along with the purpose of the release. For example, "myproject-api" or "myproject-db".
- Use lowercase and hyphens: Stick to lowercase letters, as uppercase letters can cause issues with DNS resolution. Also, use hyphens instead of spaces or underscores for better readability.
Example:
If you're deploying a chart for a web application called "mywebapp" in a development environment, you could use a release name like "mywebapp-dev".
Remember, choosing the release name is subjective, and the key is to select a name that suits your project, is easy to remember, and helps you identify and manage your releases effectively.
