<@U04S8PLJWMT> Is data-plane helm chart deployment required with the deployment of community version Airbyte chart version 2.0.17 and app version 1.8.5?

No, the data-plane Helm chart is **not** required for deploying the community (Core) version of Airbyte with chart version **2.0.17** / app version **1.8.5**.  The docs and examples for community/Core and self-managed enterprise deployments only use the main chart `airbyte-v2/airbyte` (e.g., versions 2.0.10–2.0.18) and list `airbyte-v2/airbyte-data-plane` separately as an additional chart, not as a requirement. [[Deploying Airbyte](<https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/deploying-airbyte#5-installing-airbyte>); [Chart V2 community](<https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/deploying-airbyte/chart-v2-community#deploy-airbyte>)]  So for a standard community deployment of Airbyte 1.8.5 using Helm chart 2.0.17, you only need:  ```bash helm install airbyte airbyte-v2/airbyte \   --namespace &lt;your-namespace&gt; \   --values ./values.yaml \   --version 2.0.17 ```  The `airbyte-v2/airbyte-data-plane` chart is available (e.g., version 2.0.0 with app 2.0.0) but is documented separately and not shown as a dependency for the community chart.

<@U04S8PLJWMT> Is data-plane helm chart available for the community version?

Based on the available docs, the **`airbyte-v2/airbyte-data-plane` Helm chart exists and is listed alongside the main `airbyte-v2/airbyte` chart**, but the documentation only explicitly associates the data-plane chart with **Airbyte app version 2.0.0**, not with community/Core 1.x deployments. [[Deploying Airbyte](<https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/deploying-airbyte#5-installing-airbyte>); [Chart V2 community](<https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/deploying-airbyte/chart-v2-community#deploy-airbyte>)]  In the version matrix, you can see:  ```text airbyte-v2/airbyte-data-plane   2.0.0   2.0.0   A Helm chart for installing an Airbyte Data Plane. ```  There is **no explicit statement in the knowledge sources** that this data-plane chart is intended or supported for community/Core 1.x (e.g., 1.8.5) deployments, only that it is available in the same repo and tied to app version 2.0.0. [[Deploying Airbyte](<https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/2.0/deploying-airbyte#5-installing-airbyte>)]  So:  - Yes, a **data-plane Helm chart (`airbyte-v2/airbyte-data-plane`) is present in the repo**. - The docs **do not clearly state** that it is a supported/normal part of community 1.x deployments; it is documented as “A Helm chart for installing an Airbyte Data Plane” with app version 2.0.0.
