+# This is an example values.yaml. It adjusts various default settings in order to fit GitLab
+# into the standard GKE cluster defaults. (3 n1-standard-1 nodes). The is **not recommended** for a
+# production deploy of GitLab.
+#
+# - all pods start with a single replica, rather than their other highly available defaults
+# - resource requests are tuned down to the mimimal requirements for a single user to fully use GitLab
+# - prometheus, gitlab ci runner, and the gitlab task-runner (used for backups and maintanance) are disabled
+# - persistence is disabled for all enabled services which would normally require it.
