What is helm

Helm is a tool for managing Kubernetes packages called charts. Helm can do the following:

  • Create new charts from scratch
  • Package charts into chart archive (tgz) files
  • Interact with chart repositories where charts are stored
  • Install and uninstall charts into an existing Kubernetes cluster
  • Manage the release cycle of charts that have been installed with Helm

For Helm, there are three important concepts:

  • The chart is a bundle of information necessary to create an instance of a Kubernetes application.
  • The config contains configuration information that can be merged into a packaged chart to create a releasable object.
  • A release is a running instance of a chart, combined with a specific config.

  • values.yaml
  • charts.yaml
  • structure
