                                                Helm

                                              Helm is a tool for managing Charts. Charts are packages of pre-configured Kubernetes resources.

                                              Use Helm to:

                                                * Find and use popular software packaged as Helm Charts to run in Kubernetes
                                                * Share your own applications as Helm Charts
                                                * Create reproducible builds of your Kubernetes applications
                                                * Intelligently manage your Kubernetes manifest files
                                                * Manage releases of Helm packages

                                                Helm in a Handbasket

                                              Helm is a tool that streamlines installing and managing Kubernetes applications. Think of it like apt/yum/homebrew for Kubernetes.

                                                * Helm renders your templates and communicates with the Kubernetes API
                                                * Helm runs on your laptop, CI/CD, or wherever you want it to run.
                                                * Charts are Helm packages that contain at least two things:
                                                    + A description of the package (Chart.yaml)
                                                    + One or more templates, which contain Kubernetes manifest files
                                                * Charts can be stored on disk, or fetched from remote chart repositories (like Debian or RedHat packages)

                                                Helm Development and Stable Versions

                                                Roadmap

                                              The Helm roadmap uses GitHub milestones to track the progress of the project.

                                              Helm v4 development happens on the main branch. Helm v3 is in support mode on the dev-v3 branch and receives only bug and security fixes.
