Clean up Microk8s Cluster and Redeploy EJBCA with Helm

When testing specific EJBCA features or prototyping for a new product, the environment can quickly become cluttered, creating the need to clean it up without starting from scratch.

Deploy and redeploy EJBCA using Helm 

To maintain a healthy and effective EJBCA testing environment, use our EJBCA Helm chart. This chart makes it easy, consistent, and reliable to deploy, upgrade, and un-deploy. By utilizing the EJBCA Helm chart, you can automate the setup and management of the software and necessary infrastructure components, allowing for an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) experience. For example, the Helm chart simplifies the deployment process by managing dependencies and variables to deploy EJBCA without having to manage a bunch of YAML files. This makes it easy to scale out or rapidly test configurations, thereby reducing manual errors and effort.
