+# Starter Helm Chart for ONAP Applications
+
+Clone the onap-app directory and rename it to the name for your new Helm Chart.
+
+Helm Charts for specific applications should be moved into the oom/kubernetes
+directory. If the application is a common reusable Helm Chart (eg. mariadb), a
+more appropriate location might be the oom/kubernetes/common directory.
+
+Edit each yaml file in the new Helm Chart directoy, substituing real values
+for those inside brackets (eg. `<onap-app>`). Some comments have been provided in
+the file to help guide changes that need to be made. This starter Helm Chart is
+in no way complete. It can serve as the basis for creating a new Helm Chart that
+attempts to apply Helm best practices to ONAP applications being configured,
+deployed and managed in Kubernetes.
