These Helm charts are designed to be a lightweight way to configure our official Docker images. Links to the relevant Docker image documentation has also been added below.
We recommend that the Helm chart version is aligned to the version of the product you want to deploy. This will ensure that you using a chart version that has been tested against the corresponding production version. This will also ensure that the documentation and examples for the chart will work with the version of the product you are installing.
For example if you want to deploy an Elasticsearch 7.7.1 cluster, use the
corresponding 7.7.1 tag.
The master version of these charts are intended to support the latest pre-release
versions of our products, and therefore may or may not work with current released
versions.
Starting with the 7.7.0 release, some charts are reaching GA.
Note that only the released charts coming from Elastic Helm repo or GitHub releases are supported.

The charts are currently tested against all GKE versions available. The
exact versions are defined under KUBERNETES_VERSIONS in
helpers/matrix.yml.
While we are checking backward compatibility, the charts are only tested with Helm version mentioned in helm-tester Dockerfile (currently 2.17.0).
While we don't have automated tests for Helm 3 yet, we fixed the main blockers to use it. We now have enough feedbacks from internal and external users to add support in beta.
In addition of these Helm charts, Elastic also provides Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes which is based on Operator pattern and is Elastic recommended way to deploy Elasticsearch, Kibana and APM Server on Kubernetes.
