+### Add a supergraph configmap option to the helm chart ([PR #2119](https://github.com/apollographql/router/pull/2119))
+
+Adds the capability to create a configmap containing your supergraph schema. Here's an example of how you could make use of this from your values.yaml and with the `helm` install command.
+
+```yaml
+extraEnvVars:
+  - name: APOLLO_ROUTER_SUPERGRAPH_PATH
+    value: /data/supergraph-schema.graphql
+
+extraVolumeMounts:
+  - name: supergraph-schema
+    mountPath: /data
+    readOnly: true
+
+extraVolumes:
+  - name: supergraph-schema
+    configMap:
+      name: "{{ .Release.Name }}-supergraph"
+      items:
+        - key: supergraph-schema.graphql
+          path: supergraph-schema.graphql
+```
+
+With that values.yaml content, and with your supergraph schema in a file name supergraph-schema.graphql, you can execute:
+
+```
+helm upgrade --install --create-namespace --namespace router-test --set-file supergraphFile=supergraph-schema.graphql router-test oci://ghcr.io/apollographql/helm-charts/router --version 1.0.0-rc.9 --values values.yaml
+```
