Grafana Installation

Hello,

We are trying to deploy Grafana as pods in Kubernetes. Our Grafana database is in AWS as RDS. We are looking for best way to deploy Grafana with defining the custom DB in grafana.ini file. All the documents that I’ve found about deploying Grafana to Kubernetes uses a database with persistent volumes. Is there any way that I can define the DB name or whole grafana.ini file as environment variable? (in Kubernetes yaml file or helm chart)
