Deploy the eksdemo Chart

Use the dry-run flag to test our templates

To test the syntax and validity of the Chart without actually deploying it, we’ll use the dry-run flag.

The following command will build and output the rendered templates without installing the Chart:

helm install --debug --dry-run --name workshop ~/environment/eksdemo

Confirm that the values created by the template look correct.

Deploy the chart

Now that we have tested our template, lets install it.

helm install --name workshop ~/environment/eksdemo

Similar to what we saw previously in the NGINX Helm Chart example, an output of the Deployment, Pod, and Service objects are output, similar to:
