Adding the nats chart to kubernetes chart repository?

[cgebe]

Hey, i'm asking whether it is intened to add this chart to https://github.com/kubernetes/charts
In the past there were 2 PRs there for NATS, however they did not get merged.

If it is wanted, i could again create a PR there.

@cgebe, Thank you for your interest! With core NATS, we have a NATS Operator, which provides a closer integration with Kubernetes. Does that work?

Thanks,
Colin

Hi Colin, thanks for the lead! I am going to look into the operator. Your chart is currently sufficient for my use case, however i probably switch to the operator later on. Is there a chart for the operator yet?
Entries to the kubernetes-charts repo would also be much appreciated!

I love NATS, you guys did/do an awesome job!

Thanks,
Chris

Edit: similiar to https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/stable/etcd-operator

@ColinSullivan1 is NATS Operator the recommended approach? Does it work with NATS-Streaming too?

[ColinSullivan1]

@VojtechVitek , The NATS operator is the recommended approach as it sets up everything you need, networking, secrets, PVCs, etc. and it makes clustering simple. We (the NATS team) have a NATS operator for core NATS as well as a streaming operator.
