# Templates

In order to deploy a Stack you need to have a Template to reference. This provides an abstraction on top of Helm charts to allow broad Helm configurations to be reused in an automatable way. For now we can just use the default settings to keep things simple. If you have a chart you want to use that has working default values, feel free to use it, otherwise you can use the [helm example chart](https://github.com/helm/examples). chart source `https://helm.github.io/examples`, and the chart name `hello-world`.

Once the chart has been verified and loaded, the created Template will be in a "ready" status.
