 **Addon-operator** combines Helm charts with hooks and values storage to transform charts into smart modules that configure themselves and respond to changes in the cluster. It is a sister project for [shell-operator](https://github.com/flant/shell-operator) and is actively used in [Deckhouse Kubernetes Platform](https://github.com/deckhouse/deckhouse) to implement its modules.
