values.yaml defines all configurable parameters — override per environment💡 Analogy
Like a config file for a video game — the game engine (templates) is unchanged, settings (values) vary per player.
values.yaml is the configuration for your Helm chart. All environment-specific differences (image tag, replicas, host) live here — templates stay clean.
