Overview
Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that simplifies the deployment and management of applications. It uses Helm Charts to define, install, and upgrade Kubernetes applications, enabling repeatable installations and serving as a single source of truth. These charts are easy to version, share, and host on public or private servers. Helm is a graduated project within the CNCF, maintained by the Helm community, and provides features like in-place upgrades, custom hooks, and rollbacks to older versions. It helps manage the complexity of Kubernetes applications by providing a consistent and efficient way to package and deploy them. Helm targets developers and operators who need a streamlined approach to deploying and managing applications on Kubernetes clusters.
