Helm Charts for Contour is a collection of Helm charts that package Contour, an open-source Kubernetes ingress controller.
Contour solves the problem of managing ingress traffic in Kubernetes clusters by providing a controller that configures Envoy as a reverse proxy and load balancer. The approach uses Helm charts to standardize and simplify the deployment of both the Contour controller and its associated Envoy proxy components into Kubernetes environments.
The project suits teams already using Helm for Kubernetes package management who need an ingress solution built on Envoy. It is appropriate for organizations that have standardized on Contour and want a declarative, version-controlled way to deploy and manage the controller across clusters. The charts handle the complexity of configuring both the Contour controller and Envoy proxy together, reducing manual setup work.
The project maintains a structured contribution process with documented guidelines for environment setup and development workflow. The repository includes a certificate of origin requirement for contributors, indicating a formal approach to code provenance and community participation.
