=====================================
StarlingX Application Package Manager
=====================================
Use the |prod| system application commands to manage containerized
applications provided as part of |prod|.
StarlingX application management provides a wrapper around Airship Armada
\(see `https://opendev.org/airship/armada.git <https://opendev.org/airship/armada.git>`__\)
and Kubernetes Helm \(see `https://github.com/helm/helm <https://github.com/helm/helm>`__\)
for managing containerized applications. Armada is a tool for managing
multiple Helm charts with dependencies by centralizing all configurations
in a single Armada YAML definition and providing life-cycle hooks for all
Helm releases.
A StarlingX application package is a compressed tarball containing a
metadata.yaml file, a manifest.yaml Armada manifest file, and a charts
directory containing helm charts and a checksum.md5 file. The metadata.yaml
file contains the application name, version, and optional helm repository
and disabled charts information.
StarlingX application package management provides a set of :command:`system`
CLI commands for managing the lifecycle of an Application, which includes
managing overrides to the helm charts within the application.
