# What does the annotation helm.sh/resource-policy: keep do on a resource in a chart?

Helm, Hard (Expert), Concepts. https://k8wiz.com/uquiz/what-does-the-annotation-helmshresource-policy-keep-do-on-a-resource-in-a-chart

- A. Helm never updates the resource again after the first install
- B. Kubernetes blocks kubectl delete on the resource until it's removed
- C. Helm keeps every past revision of the resource in release history
- D. Helm leaves the resource behind when it would otherwise delete it

**Answer:** Helm leaves the resource behind when it would otherwise delete it

**Explanation:** Use it for objects such as a PersistentVolumeClaim that must survive an uninstall. Helm leaves the object in place and stops managing it, so cleaning it up later is your job.
