How to deploy a war application in the pega's tomcat containers using helm
We have a pega application that depends on a html file inside a war file. We would like to know how to deploy this war file inside the pega tomcat containers. There are some restrictions:
we can't change the helm upgrade command because it is fixed in the helm pipeline;
every time we redeploy the helm we need this file to be redeployed as well;
we are using pega charts to deploy a pega cluster in AWS EKS;
Pega version is 8.8.3.

@Fabio To deploy a WAR file inside the Pega Tomcat containers while using Pega Helm charts you can customize the Pega Helm charts to include your WAR file. Since you cannot change the Helm upgrade command you can add your WAR file to the Pega Docker image or use an init container to copy the WAR file to the appropriate location in the Tomcat container. This way every time you redeploy using Helm the WAR file will be included. For more details on customizing the Pega Helm charts you can refer to the Pega specific Helm chart readme.
