Will be looking at this shortly.

Submitted Helm to the OSS list. Dev and test on this are complete. Just waiting for OSS sign off to clear before submitting the PR.

I got tied up with CSI work recently... I need to take this to Charts Office Hours next week (meets on Tues at 9am) and see what the hold up is getting this merged. The chart is complete. Will probably bump the version on it just to use the latest tagged image even though the last 2 tags are functionally identical for the CCM.

Yea, I have been wanting to get this merged because I actually have a blog post already written for this work.

[frapposelli]

cool! thanks!

Started looking at this again as of yesterday morning... this should hopefully be low hanging fruit in terms of refreshing/updating based on changes.

Will try to shepherd this into the charts repo again.

UPDATE: Going to start testing this afternoon. Will iterate on any bug fixes.

[dvonthenen]

This unfortunately isn't so straight forward anymore. 🤣

Will start on this process...

Start inquiry about hosting/creating a VMware Helm Chart repo.

Pinged Adnan Abdulhussein as a follow up to this issue. Should hear more info about direction of path forward.

[dvonthenen]

Discussed with Adnan about this issue today... he recommends the best path forward right now is to create a PR into the main helm/charts repo and try to get that merged. since that's a very public facing PR, will re-test for drift (I dont believe there is any) and then open the PR on monday
