Helm

What is Helm?

Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes, often called "the Kubernetes package manager." It simplifies the deployment and management of applications on Kubernetes clusters by packaging applications into charts - collections of pre-configured Kubernetes resources that can be easily shared, versioned, and deployed.

Created by Deis (now part of Microsoft) and later donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), Helm solves the complexity of managing multiple Kubernetes manifests by providing templating, dependency management, and release management capabilities. Helm 3, the current major version, eliminated the need for the Tiller server component, improving security and simplifying architecture.
