 ## Configuration
 The goal of adding helm configurations is to abstract out and simplify the creation of multi-resource configs. The `AWX.spec` field maps directly to the spec configs of the `AWX` resource that the operator provides, which are detailed in the [main README](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/blob/devel/README.md). Other sub-config can be added with the goal of simplifying more involved setups that require additional resources to be specified.
