About:
Helm is the de facto package manager for Kubernetes, enabling developers to define, install, and upgrade complex applications on a cluster. It uses 'Charts'—collections of pre-configured Kubernetes resources—to simplify deployment management. This tool streamlines application lifecycle management, making it easier to share and operationalize cloud-native software.
Key Features:
  • Chart-based packaging for reusable application definitions
  • Simplified installation and upgrade of Kubernetes applications
  • Rollback capabilities to revert to previous stable versions
  • Hooks for custom deployment logic and lifecycle management
Use Cases:
  • Deploying complex stateful applications like databases on Kubernetes
  • Standardizing application deployment across different environments
  • Automating CI/CD pipelines for Kubernetes application delivery
Alternatives:
  • Kustomize – Native Kubernetes tool offering template-free configuration customization, often used as an alternative or complement to Helm.
  • Kapp – Part of the Carvel suite, focuses on resource change tracking and application lifecycle management without templating.
