This command upgrades a release to a new version of a chart. This command upgrades a release to a specified version of a chart and/or updates chart values.
The upgrade arguments must be a release and chart. The chart Required arguments are release and chart. The chart argument can be one of:

version will be specified unless the '--version' flag is set. - a packaged chart,

You can specify any of the chart value flags multiple times. The priority will be given to the last

set for a key called 'foo', the 'newbar' value would take precedence: - mybool=TRUE
- livenessProbe.timeoutSeconds=10
- metrics.annotations[0]=hey,metrics.annotations[1]=ho
which sets the top level key mybool to true, the nested timeoutSeconds to 10, and two array values, respectively.
Note that the value side of the key=val provided to '--set' and '--set-string' flags will pass through
shell evaluation followed by yaml type parsing to produce the final value. This may alter inputs with
special characters in unexpected ways, for example
$ helm upgrade --set pwd=3jk$o2,z=f\30.e redis ./redis
results in "pwd: 3jk" and "z: f30.e". Use single quotes to avoid shell evaluation and argument delimiters,
and use backslash to escape yaml special characters:
$ helm upgrade --set pwd='3jk$o2z=f\\30.e' redis ./redis
which results in the expected "pwd: 3jk$o2z=f\30.e". If a single quote occurs in your value then follow
your shell convention for escaping it; for example in bash:
$ helm upgrade --set pwd='3jk$o2z=f\\30with'\''quote'
$ helm upgrade --set foo=bar --set foo=newbar redis ./redis which results in "pwd: 3jk$o2z=f\30with'quote".
