## Data Management for science in the Big Data era.
Rucio is a software framework that provides functionality to organize, manage, and access large volumes of scientific data using customisable policies.
The data can be spread across globally distributed locations and across heterogeneous data centers, uniting different storage and network technologies as a single federated entity.
Rucio offers advanced features such as distributed data recovery or adaptive replication, and is highly scalable, modular, and extensible.
Rucio has been originally developed to meet the requirements of the high-energy physics experiment ATLAS, and is continuously extended to support LHC experiments and other diverse scientific communities.
## Helm Charts
This repository contains Helm Charts for the major different components of Rucio (https://rucio.cern.ch), the Rucio server, daemons, probes, and the Rucio WebUI.
Helm (https://helm.sh) helps you manage Kubernetes applications.
Helm Charts help you define, install, and upgrade Kubernetes applications.
Further, Helm Charts can be combined with Flux (https://fluxcd.io) to fully implement GitOps.
Just push to Git and Flux does the rest.
### Installation example
Add the Rucio Helm repository to your local Helm installation then you can install the Rucio server like so.
