Upgrading the Helm Chart

Upgrading the United Manufacturing Hub is done by upgrading the Helm chart.

Upgrading a Helm chart in UMHLens allows you to update the deployment of your services to the latest version. This tutorial will guide you through the process of adding the Helm repository in UMHLens, deleting previous deployments and stateful sets, and upgrading the release in the Helm tab. Please note that this process may not be smooth and may require some manual work. Follow the instructions carefully to successfully upgrade your Helm chart.
