 ### Deploying the operator
 
 The `deploy/` directory has some statically defined manifests that you can modify to configure your own keys and deploy. However, this repo also provides a [Helm](https://helm.sh/) template in the `helm/kms-vault-operator` directory, as well as a sample Helm values file for each authentication method above under `deploy/helm-values`. Please note that some of the values assume you have previously created the [Kubernetes secrets](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/secret/) or other configuration they rely on.
