This glossary is not meant to be complete, as no glossary can be. It does mean to cover the basic different deployments. To keep things clear, federation was also added to clarify that federation is not a deployment but a different "thing".

Project Overview
The spire/helm-chart effort intends to deliver a set of helm charts to support SPIRE deployments in Kubernetes to the widest possible audience of users.
Mission and Scope
The mission of this effort is to provide a stable upstream repository of Helm Charts sufficient for any organization or individual to use.
What problem does this project address?
Prior to this effort, no single authoritative repository for SPIRE Helm Charts existed, imposing an additional burden on SPIRE adoption as each organization or individual had to develop their own Kubernetes deployment packaging.
What is the goal of this project?
The goal of this project is to be the primary means of deployment for SPIRE into Kubernetes clusters, providing a flexible solution that can be used in a wide number of different scenarios.
What is the scope of this project?
The scope includes user documentation, chart creation, chart delivery, chart testing, and chart maintenance of a set of Helm Charts sufficient for deploying SPIRE in any SPIRE documented configuration, including direction on how to extend the Charts to integrate non-SPIRE plugins.
What development methodology is used?
An Open Source Development methodology is used, where issues are tracked within the primary github repository.
Status
The project is currently in a pre-release status. While the standalone deployment is close to release quality, the tiered deployment is not.
