[Feat] Add support for loading environment variables from an existing Kubernetes Secret via envFromSecret in values.yaml.

This allows users to mount all key/value pairs from a Secret as container environment variables without manually specifying each one.

Example usage in values.yaml:

envFromSecret:
  name: s3-registry

Summary of Changes

Hello @redno2, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces a new feature that allows users to inject environment variables into containers directly from an existing Kubernetes Secret. This enhancement simplifies configuration by enabling the mounting of all key/value pairs from a specified Secret, eliminating the need for manual, individual environment variable definitions. The change involves modifying the deployment template to conditionally include the "envFrom" block and updating the Helm values documentation to reflect this new capability.

Highlights

  • Kubernetes Environment Variables: Implemented support for "envFromSecret" in Helm charts, enabling the injection of all key/value pairs from a Kubernetes Secret directly into container environment variables.
  • Helm Chart Configuration: Updated "values.yaml" with documentation and an example for the new "envFromSecret" configuration option, detailing how to reference an existing Kubernetes Secret.

Code Review

This pull request adds a useful feature to load environment variables from a Kubernetes secret using envFromSecret. The implementation in the Helm template has a critical issue where it can generate an invalid Kubernetes manifest due to a duplicate envFrom key. Additionally, the new configuration option should be added to values.schema.json for validation and better developer experience. I've provided comments with details on how to address these points.

- secretRef:
name: {{ $modelSpec.envFromSecret.name }}

critical

This new envFrom section will conflict with an existing envFrom on line 342 if both are enabled, leading to an invalid Kubernetes manifest due to a duplicate key. The envFrom sources should be consolidated under a single envFrom key. Please move this logic and merge it with the existing envFrom block around line 342.

The new envFromSecret option is a great addition. To ensure validation and provide better editor support (like autocompletion), it should also be added to the helm/values.schema.json file under servingEngineSpec.modelSpec.items.properties.

Here's a suggested schema definition:

"envFromSecret": {
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "name": {
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "required": ["name"]
}
