Introduction to Helm Charts
Understand what Helm is and how charts provide a reproducible way to define, install, and upgrade applications.
The Kubernetes Deployment Challenge
Deploying applications to Kubernetes can get complex. Imagine managing dozens of YAML files for a single application: Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps, and more.
This complexity can make it hard to deploy, update, and share applications consistently across different environments or teams.
Meet Helm: Kubernetes Package Manager
Helm is often called the "package manager for Kubernetes." Think of it like apt for Ubuntu or yum for CentOS, but for Kubernetes applications.
It simplifies the process of defining, installing, and upgrading even the most complex Kubernetes applications.
