OpenShift provides two parallel application packaging mechanisms: Helm charts (cluster-scoped and project-scoped repositories, chart/release/revision lifecycle) and Templates (cluster-wide availability via the openshift namespace, labels applied to all generated objects) — both enabling repeatable application instantiation with different scope models.
Helm and Templates serve the same purpose (repeatable app packaging) with different mechanisms and scope models; grouping reveals the dual packaging architecture.
Depends on (SL): helm-chart-release-revision-definitions, helm-two-repo-crd-kinds, ocp-template-objects-only-required-field, ocp-templates-cluster-wide-via-openshift-namespace
