Cert-manager's Helm chart does not use Helm's CRD installation mechanism because it does not allow for CRD update, see https://github.com/helm/community/blob/f9e06c16d89ccea1bea77c01a6a96ae3b309f823/architecture/crds.md

This can cause confusion for folks, see i.e https://kubernetes.slack.com/archives/C4NV3DWUC/p1676635914363249?thread_ts=1676588335.690979&cid=C4NV3DWUC cert-manager/cert-manager#5794

We should document

  • what is the difference (i.e helm show crds doesn't work)
  • why we are doing this

I think I might have covered this, or at least a good attempt to:

@irbekrm - appreciate your input if I have covered all the main differences

See: #1248

Are you still working on this? @hawksight

I actually did document this previously, here: https://cert-manager.io/v1.14-docs/installation/helm/#crd-considerations
I think this was removed in v1.15 release due to the change in CRD annotations that were added to the chart?

I guess from a user perspective, do we still behave differently to standard helm and do we document this difference?
