software template

Is there a definition/description about what is a software template ? Why do you want to spin an instance using k8s resources, chart, etc instead of using a controller or application on the platform able to provision such a service, app from a package + parameters using the input of the user ? Delegating such a work on the platform could simplify the work to maintain for assemble tens of yaml, templates, ... WDYT ? @davgordo

Thanks for your thoughts @cmoulliard I agree that the way this automation is packaged could be re-imagined. Helm is a convenient way for us to express the components we need in the short term, and I have an idea to compose as a "chart of charts" (just for now) to collect parameters in one place for someone installing the platform. I have a feeling that maintaining this "master chart" is not sustainable. An operator or controller of some kind could nicely encapsulate platform operations. I hope that short term scaffolding with a GitOps controller + Helm templating at least helps to inform later implementations.
