Add revisionHistoryLimit parameter to control how many old ReplicaSets are
retained for rollback purposes, reducing etcd storage usage compared to
Kubernetes default of 10.
Changes:
- Add revisionHistoryLimit parameter in values.yaml (default: 3)
- Add revisionHistoryLimit to deployment.yaml spec
- Provide comprehensive documentation with recommendations
- Bump chart version 2.5.0 -> 2.5.1 (patch - minor enhancement)
- Add changelog annotation for Artifact Hub
Benefits:
- Reduce etcd storage usage (especially important in large clusters)
- Maintain reasonable rollback capability (3 previous versions)
- Allow customization based on deployment needs
- Can be set to null to use Kubernetes default (10)
Default rationale:
- 3 revisions provides sufficient rollback capability for most use cases
- Reduces cluster resource usage (etcd storage, API server load)
- Follows best practices from production Kubernetes deployments
- Users can override if they need more history
Example usage:
# Use default (3 revisions)
revisionHistoryLimit: 3
# Increase for critical deployments
revisionHistoryLimit: 10
# Use Kubernetes default (10)
revisionHistoryLimit: null
# Disable history (not recommended)
revisionHistoryLimit: 0
