ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Helm version: 3.4.0
As per Helm documentation, the location of helm repo has changed from "https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com" to "https://charts.helm.sh/stable".

Helm v3.4.0 will now detect if you have the stable and incubator repository configured with the old location and warn you that you need to update your configuration to the new location.

To proceed further with the installation, the following changes were made to -

awx/installer/roles/kubernetes/tasks/main.yml

Line 104 in e4e5d65

helm repo add stable https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com

      shell: |
        helm repo add stable https://charts.helm.sh/stable
