Helm chart overview
To extensively customize the settings of your Gloo Mesh Enterprise installation, you can use the gloo-platform and gloo-platform-crds Helm charts.
Installation Helm chart
All components for a full Gloo Mesh Enterprise installation are available in the gloo-platform Helm chart.
Helm installations allow for extensive customization of Gloo settings, and are suitable for proof-of-concept or production setups. Within the gloo-platform chart, you can find the configuration options for all components in the following sections.
| Component section | Description |
|---|---|
clickhouse | Configuration for the Clickhouse deployment, which stores logs from Gloo telemetry collector agents. See the Bitnami Clickhouse Helm chart for the complete set of values. |
common | Common values shared across components. When applicable, these can be overridden in specific components. |
demo | Demo-specific features that improve quick setups. Do not use in production. |
experimental | Deprecated: Use featureGates fields instead. |
extAuthService | Configuration for the Gloo external authentication service. |
featureGates | Experimental features for Gloo. Disabled by default. |
glooAgent | Configuration for the Gloo agent. |

You can see all possible fields that you can set for the chart by running the following command.
helm show values gloo-platform/gloo-platform --version v2.6.5 > all-values.yaml
For more information about each field, see the Helm values documentation. To set up Gloo Mesh Enterprise with Helm, see the advanced installation guide.
CRD Helm chart
All CRDs that are required for a Gloo Mesh Enterprise installation are available in the gloo-platform-crds Helm chart. To see all CRD installation options, see the Helm values documentation. If you already installed the chart, you can run kubectl get crds -A | grep gloo.solo.io to see the installed CRDs.
