Workload types

base-chart supports three workload types, selected via the top-level type key.

Deployment

The default type. Use for stateless services.

type: Deployment
replicaCount: 2

Supports: Service, Ingress, Route, HPA, KEDA ScaledObject, PDB, Certificate.

StatefulSet

Use for workloads that need stable network identities or persistent storage (databases, message brokers).

replicaCount: 3
serviceName: my-headless-svc      # optional, defaults to workload name
podManagementPolicy: OrderedReady  # or Parallel

Since v1.2.0 — the governing Service is headless by default (clusterIP: None), giving each pod a stable DNS name (pod-0.svc.namespace.svc.cluster.local). To opt out, set service.headless: false explicitly.

Supports: Service (including headless), Ingress, Route, PDB, Certificate, volume claim templates.

CronJob

Use for scheduled tasks.

type: CronJob
schedule: "0 */6 * * *"

Supports: KEDA ScaledJob.
