Deployment documentation for the Collaborative Organization for Resource and
Trust Exchange (CORTEX) Helm chart.

## Installation

```console
$ helm install cortex ./charts/external-ndcp --values my-values.yaml
```

Several values are required and have no defaults — the chart fails to render if they are unset.

Run `helm lint charts/external-ndcp` to list them.
