Add support for fullnameOverride to Chart about charts

This is typically the condition I have found to support this. It avoids duplication of named entries for ...metadata.name in the event that you do not use multiple release names and maybe has other uses than the one I just highlighted. I don't know if this is officially sanctioned as part of a Helm standard but I find that it is available for a majority of charts.

Yeah that's reasonable to add--just today ran into someone confused as to why resources got named kong-kong-whatever when they named their release kong. I'd recommend still having some sort of indicator showing the purpose of a release (e.g. "prod", "test", etc. for the environment type; "dmz", "internal" for the network zone; etc.), but those can often be handled via other means.

Marked "good first issue" as this should be simple to add if someone in the community is interested. We should create it if we don't see any community submissions, though it's not an immediate priority.

Is this something that aligns with guidelines for charts from the maintainers of Helm?

[hbagdi]

I see. @rainest how do you feel about adding yet another knob for this?

I used Release Name for identification across all cluster about my applications and using fullname on Kong chart don't remove the prefix of Release.Name.
In https://github.com/Kong/charts/blob/main/charts/kong/templates/_helpers.tpl#L11-L18

Would be great if we have a way to fully override the name of resources that will be created in some release.

Closing this as stale as there has not been activity in nearly a year. If you're still interested in this functionality please feel free to comment and we'll be happy to re-open this and re-assess.
