 This helm chart installs Ark version v0.9.0
 https://github.com/heptio/ark/tree/v0.9.0
 
-## Premise
-In general, Helm cannot install CRDs and resources based on these CRDs in the same Helm chart because CRDs need to be installed before CRD
-resources can be created and Helm cannot guarantee the correct ordering for this to work.
-
-As a workaround, the chart creates a Config resource via post-install hook.
-Since resources created by hooks are not managed by Helm, a pre-delete hook removes the Config CRD when the release is deleted.
-
-At the same time the resources created with the hook are completely transparent to Helm, that is, when you delete the
-chart those resources remain there. Hence we need a second hook for deleting them (see hook-delete.yaml)
-
-## ConfigMap customization
-Since we want to have a customizable chart it's important that the configmap is a template and not a static file.
-To do this we add the keyword `tpl` when reading the file
-- {{ (tpl (.Files.Glob "configuration/").AsConfig .) | indent 2 }}
