## `args`

Define arg(s). If it's single, can be defined as string

|            |                                                |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Key        | `workload.$name.podSpec.containers.$name.args` |
| Type       | `string` or `list` of `string`                 |
| Required   | ❌                                             |
| Helm `tpl` | ✅                                             |
| Default    | `[]`                                           |

Example

```yaml
workload:
  workload-name:
    podSpec:
      containers:
        container-name:
          args:
            - arg1
            - arg2
# Or
workload:
  workload-name:
    podSpec:
      containers:
        container-name:
          args: arg
```

---

## `extraArgs`

Define extraArg(s).

:::note

Those are appended **after** the `args`.
Useful for adding args after the ones defined by the chart.
