Hi All,

I am trying to do helm install using Ansible Kubernetes packages with the Helm package manager modules.

If I use the below command in Ansible shell, the helm deployment is a success.

- name: install\_nr\_kubernetes\_integration  
shell: /usr/local/bin/helm upgrade --install newrelic newrelic/nri-bundle --set global.licenseKey={{ new\_relic\_key }} --set global.cluster={{ gcp\_cluster }} --set infrastructure.enabled=true --set prometheus.enabled=true --set webhook.enabled=true --set ksm.enabled=true --set kubeEvents.enabled=true --set logging.enabled=true

If I try to use the Ansible Kubernetes packages with the Helm package manager modules, the helm deployment is not deployed as expected.

Hi Abhijeet,

It is showing the same output still.

Not sure where is the issue ?

Thanks,
