+### Custom secrets
+The `customSecrets` section simplifies the creation of our custom secrets used during AWX deployment. Supplying the passwords this way is not recommended for production use, but may be helpful for initial PoC.
+
+If enabled, the configs provided will automatically used to create the respective secrets and linked at the CR spec level. For proper secret management, the sensitive values can be passed in at the command line rather than specified in code. Use the `--set` argument with `helm install`.
+
+Example:
+
+```yaml
+AWX:
+  # enable use of awx-deploy template
+  ...
+
+  # configurations for external postgres instance
+  postgres:
+    enabled: false
+    ...
+
+  customSecrets:
+    enabled: true
+    admin:
+      enabled: true
+      password: mysuperlongpassword
+      secretName: my-admin-password
+    secretKey:
+      enabled: true
+      key: supersecuresecretkey
+      secretName: my-awx-secret-key
+    ingressTls:
+      enabled: true
+      selfSignedCert: true
+      key: unset
+      certificate: unset
+    routeTls:
+      enabled: false
+      key: <contentoftheprivatekey>
+      certificate: <contentofthepublickey>
+    ldapCacert:
+      enabled: false
+      crt: <contentofmybundlecacrt>
+    ldap:
+      enabled: true
+      password: yourldapdnpassword
+    bundleCacert:
+      enabled: false
+      crt: <contentofmybundlecacrt>
+    eePullCredentials:
+      enabled: false
+      url: unset
+      username: unset
+      password: unset
+      sslVerify: true
+      secretName: my-ee-pull-credentials
+    cpPullCredentials:
+      enabled: false
+      dockerconfig:
+        - registry: https://index.docker.io/v1/
+          username: unset
+          password: unset
+      secretName: my-cp-pull-credentials
+```
+
+### Custom volumes
+The `customVolumes` section simplifies the creation of Persistent Volumes used when you want to store your databases and projects files on the cluster's Node. Since their backends are `hostPath`, the size specified are just like a label and there is no actual capacity limitation.
+
+You have to prepare directories for these volumes. For example:
+
+```bash
+sudo mkdir -p /data/postgres-13
+sudo mkdir -p /data/projects
+sudo chmod 755 /data/postgres-13
+sudo chown 1000:0 /data/projects
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```yaml
+AWX:
+  # enable use of awx-deploy template
+  ...
+
+  # configurations for external postgres instance
+  postgres:
+    enabled: false
+    ...
+
+  customVolumes:
+    postgres:
+      enabled: true
+      hostPath: /data/postgres-13
+    projects:
+      enabled: true
+      hostPath: /data/projects
+      size: 1Gi
+```
