Managing Helm Deployments with Gitops at CERN

summary
CERN deploys Helm charts from private chartmuseum repos, wraps applications as umbrella charts with per-environment releases, and encrypts values via a custom Barbican plugin instead of external CRDs; Flux polls Git branches to reconcile clusters and the live demo shows a GitOps install, update and rollback cycle succeeding for prod and staging releases. The setup supports GPUs via chart templates, keeps chart versioning and internal patches, and plans migration from Helm v2 to v3 and wider cluster add-on management under Git.
