 [Kamaji](https://github.com/clastix/kamaji) requires a [multi-tenant `etcd`](https://github.com/clastix/kamaji-internal/blob/master/deploy/getting-started-with-kamaji.md#setup-internal-multi-tenant-etcd) cluster.
 This Helm Chart starting from v0.1.1 provides the installation of an internal `etcd` in order to streamline the local test. If you'd like to use an externally managed etcd instance, you can specify the overrides and by setting the value `etcd.deploy=false`.
