Helm values management

[esune]

In order to deploy our services using Helm charts, we need to store values files with details for each environment in a location that is accessible by our CD pipeline.

With the move to ArgoCD, it would make sense to store these files in the GitOps repository used to store the various configurations, however this presents a challenge since the GitOps repo is not publicly accessible and access is not going to be available to all team members.

One idea would be to store the values file for all environments in https://github.com/bcgov/trust-over-ip-configurations/tree/main/helm-values (currently Traction has the dev values in its repository) and trigger GitOps repo updates when they are updated, in a similar fashion to what happens with code releases in the source code repositories.

Ideally, we want to have:

• a standard strurcture followed by all projects
• public access to configurations, so that changes can be made/triggered by any team member and not just a subset (exception made for actions requiring approval, such as deployments to production)

Values files for Traction and VC-AuthN-OIDC for dev, test, and prod environments are stored and maintained in trust-over-ip-configurations repo within the services directory. This directory is synchronized upstream to the ministry-gitops-ditp repository.
