I would like to have a slightly different deployment configuration in different invironments. That is, in Prod and Ver, I don't want all containers to be deployed.

With docker-compose we solve that by having incremental docker-compose files that we combine, like: docker-compose up -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose-prod.yml

How can that be done using Helm charts? We have a structure with Chart.yaml and values.yaml in the top, and then one yaml file per container in a subfolder. The naive solution would be to copy that structure and leave out some of the chart files, but I would prefer to have only one file (at most one file!) per service.

We deploy to AKS using CircleCI.

To summarize: Today, each service has it's own yaml file, and on every deploy, all of them gets deployed. I want to configure my charts so that only a subset of the services gets deployed in certain environments.

EDIT:

kubectl has the the possibility to use selectors, like kubectl create cfg.yaml --selector=tier=frontend or kubectl create cfg.yaml --selector=environment=prod and I already tag my containers, so that would have been simple. But helm install does not have the possibility to accept a similar flag and pass it to kubectl.
