Deploy forked demo to Kubernetes

[kainawroth]

Hi everyone,

I forked the demo repo, made some changes, and would like to deploy my version to Kubernetes. However, I'm not very familiar with Helm and need help.

My questions are:

• How do I get started? Do I have to fork the helm chart repo and then change the command helm repo add open-telemetry https://open-telemetry.github.io/opentelemetry-helm-charts accordingly to add my forked demo repo instead? Or do I have to make the changes locally once the Helm chart repo has been created on my local machine?
• Are any changes made to Dockerfile(s) considered during deployment or do all those changes have to be made to Helm charts as well? I'm asking because the only references to the OTel Java agent that I found are in the Dockerfile(s) of Ad Service, Kafka, and Fraud Detection Service.

If someone could answer my questions, or has an example, or can point me to the right documentation, that'd very much appreciated!

Best Regards,
Kai
