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.
