Helm and Kind

• Helm chart & Terraform modules. A canonical GKE-oriented Helm chart (charts/kube-agents/) and companion Terraform modules (terraform/modules/) live in main for versioned OCI and IaC deployments. Published artifacts (the OCI chart and ?ref=X.Y.Z module tags) exist for every X.Y.Z release; to run unreleased main, install from a repository checkout or use the Quick start. A checkout install must override both image tags — the chart README is canonical for the exact --set flags and the appVersion-placeholder reason.
• Kind is a development path, not an install. The installer (install.sh) and the Terraform composition it drives both target GKE, and a real deployment needs a GKE cluster. Contributors to the repository can bring the operator, gateway and agent up in a local kind cluster with only a Gemini API key; INSTALL.md Method 3 in the repository describes that path and what does not work off GKE.

Install today

A GitOps repository on a GitHub Enterprise Server is installed with install.sh --gitops-host, or with Terraform + Helm: see GitHub Enterprise Server in INSTALL.md.

• Quick start (GKE) — install.sh bootstraps GKE, the operator, and the agent.
• Helm & Terraform (GitOps) — deploy via versioned OCI Helm charts and SemVer Terraform modules. For a one-command IaC install (cluster + IAM + chart in a single terraform apply), see terraform/examples/full-install/.
• Manual install — for other Hermes-compatible harnesses.

Check the repository’s charts/ tree for canonical Helm charts and terraform/modules/ for infrastructure modules.
