8. Perform the following steps to deploy the environment.yaml file:

   • Use the following command to save the environment chart values to a file:

     helm show values environment-10.5.tgz > environment-values.yaml

   • Edit the chart values to fit the required environment:

     vi environment-values.yaml

   helm show values environment-10.5.tgz > environment-values.yaml
   $
   $ vi environment-values.yaml
   $
   $ helm template environment-10.5.tgz -f environment-values.yaml > environment.yaml
   $
   $ kubectl apply -n netbackup -f environment.yaml
