Quick-start guides takes the easiest path to get something running, which is `helm install` in the Helm world.

If you want to have complete control of what you're pushing to the API, use Helm as an starting point instead, run `helm template` and save the YAML output to some file, publish it using `kubectl` or some other rollout tool. I recommend using `kapp` [1] for rollouts.

This is precisely how Spinnaker behaves with Helm. It renders the template into manifests and then deploys them.

Kinda loses the benefit of Helm hooks, but if one is using Spinnaker, there are other ways to do the same thing hooks can do.
