Just a note to tune in on Tuesday May 5th: “ Let's Build a Helm Chart With Paul Czarkowski”
Many of the teams I support are moving from native Kubernetes package management to Helm . While I love nautical analogies, Helm’s name refers to its creation of Charts, which are useful for container deployments and repository creation.
A Chart is a Helm package. It contains all of the resource definitions necessary to run an application, tool, or service inside of a Kubernetes cluster. Think of it like the Kubernetes equivalent of a Homebrew formula, an Apt dpkg, or a Yum RPM file.
A more useful way to think about this is surfaced in the KubeApp.com repository
If your a fan of “How things work” the diagram below is very helpful to explain the Helm deployment process.
