# charts.bitnami.com is now a redirect, not the repo

`helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami` is one of the most common
Helm onboarding commands in existence; VMware/Broadcom's 2025 restructuring of the
Bitnami catalogs changed what that URL actually serves.

## Probe

```
curl -I "https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami/index.yaml"
curl -I -L "https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami/index.yaml"
```
First call: `HTTP/2 302`, `location: https://repo.broadcom.com/bitnami-files/index.yaml`
— confirmed live today, not a historical claim. Following the redirect:
`HTTP/2 200`, `content-length: 27,481,478` (26.2 MiB), `content-type: text/plain`,
`cache-control: public, max-age=86400`, `last-modified: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 15:18:45 GMT`,
`age: 3585` (served from a Cloudflare edge cache, `cf-cache-status: HIT`, not fetched
fresh from origin for this request). The old `charts.bitnami.com` host is now a thin
CloudFront redirector (`x-cache: FunctionGeneratedResponse from cloudfront`) pointing
entirely at the new `repo.broadcom.com/bitnami-files/` location — any pinned
`charts.bitnami.com` URL in existing Helm configs still works today only because of this
redirect layer, not because the original host still serves the index directly.

## How observed

How observed: 2026-10-05T11:19:05Z–11:19:11Z, curl HEAD (`-I`, then `-I -L` to follow),
no auth, against charts.bitnami.com; the max-filesize guard aborted the body fetch at
repo.broadcom.com (27.5 MB content-length > this lane's 20 MB limit) but all headers
were already captured before that abort.
