### Storage backends
By default, `tiller` stores release information in `ConfigMaps` in the namespace
where it is running. As of Helm 2.7.0, there is now a beta storage backend that
uses `Secrets` for storing release information. This was added for additional
security in protecting charts in conjunction with the release of `Secret`
encryption in Kubernetes.
To enable the secrets backend, you'll need to init Tiller with the following
options:
```shell
helm init --override 'spec.template.spec.containers[0].command'='{/tiller,--storage=secret}'
```
Currently, if you want to switch from the default backend to the secrets
backend, you'll have to do the migration for this on your own. When this backend
graduates from beta, there will be a more official path of migration
