1Password Helm charts

Helm is a tool that helps you manage Kubernetes applications through specification files called Helm charts. Helm charts define a Kubernetes application and make it easy to share, install, and upgrade. Refer to Helm to learn more.

The 1Password Helm charts allow you to use Helm to deploy a Secrets Automation workflow. 1Password offers two Helm charts:

• The 1Password Connect and Kubernetes Operator Helm chart runs a Connect server by itself or alongside the Kubernetes Operator.
• The 1Password Secrets Injector Helm chart runs the Kubernetes Secrets Injector, which works with both service accounts and Connect servers.

See the following comparison table to learn which Helm chart is right for the environment you want to run.

Environment	Connect and Operator	Secrets Injector
Connect server (without the Kubernetes Operator)	Yes	No
Connect server and the Kubernetes Operator	Yes	No
Kubernetes Injector	No	Yes
