2018-09-17Add helm plugins to (un)deploy onapMike Elliott4-0/+234
In the Casablanca release, ONAP has become very large. Every Helm chart contains some amount of external configuration. And unfortunately, there is a limit to the amount of configuration that can exist in a Helm chart. When ONAP is installed as a unbrella chart containing many subcharts (each with configuration), the amount of configuration that resides in configmaps in K8s causes the installation to fail. To work around this issue, it was necessary to introiduce a Helm plugin that will install/upgrade onap by deploying the parent chart and each subchart within its own Helm "release". This is the initial version of the plugins, which has been verified to work and unblock integration in the deployment of all of ONAP. Improvements will be made post M4 to further harden and enhance the plugins. Specifically, the plugins are not currently resilent to network issues which can cause some of the subcharts to fail to deploy. To work around this, the plugins should be run from within the same network as the k8s cluster you are deploying to. To install, copy plugins directory into your local ~/.helm/ folder. After which you should see 'deploy' and 'undeploy' if you do a 'helm' with no arguments.
