Why Upgrade?
The public Helm site helps you try standard charts and understand what ConfigHub is doing. The commercial product is for private work: your charts, your applications, your teams, your approvals, and your production history.
Use it when one chart becomes many configurations, when several people need to review a release, or when you need a durable record of what changed and why.
Available Options
| Option | What it gives you | Access |
|---|---|---|
| Public Helm site | Browse chart pages, try catalog packages, inspect objects, and run public verification checks. | No ConfigHub account needed. |
| Self-sign-up SaaS | Store team configurations, manage versions, review diffs, and connect delivery workflows. | Hosted ConfigHub account. |
| Standalone enterprise product | Run ConfigHub for private charts, internal platforms, policy, audit, and production operations. | Enterprise deployment and support. |
| Private catalog support | Bring private charts, wrapper charts, platform values, customer overlays, and internal stacks. | Commercial feature. |
| Production operations | Use approvals, changesets, GitOps handoff, observations, fleet queries, and audit history. | Commercial feature. |
What The Commercial Product Helps With
Start with the free site when you want to inspect public charts. Move to ConfigHub when you want to keep those configurations, share them with a team, and manage releases over time.
| Need | How ConfigHub helps |
|---|---|
| Teams and shared work | Store chart configurations where teammates can find, review, and reuse them. |
| Private application delivery | Use ConfigHub with your own charts, Kubernetes files, platform services, and release process. |
| Environment versions | Manage development, staging, production, region, and customer versions without copying values files by hand. |
| Upgrade review | Compare old and new rendered objects before a release reaches production. |
| Audit and support | Keep a record of inputs, diffs, approvals, delivery, observations, and receipts. |
Current And Intended Benefits
These are the main areas where the commercial product is meant to add value for Helm users.
| Area | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Private Helm catalogs | Use the same catalog model for charts and settings that cannot be public. |
| Application fleets | Manage many customer, region, or environment versions from recorded inputs and exact diffs. |
| Hooks, CRDs, and setup work | Make the extra Helm work visible so it can be checked, ordered, assigned, or automated. |
| Bulk operations | Scan, patch, approve, promote, and observe many applications together. |
| Security and audit | Keep signed artifacts, scan diffs, digest inventory, policy gates, and audit history. |
| Older chart versions | Keep supporting older versions when upstream changes break your current deployment. |
