help Helm FAQ
What is Helm used for in Kubernetes?
Helm is an official package manager for Kubernetes that streamlines the installation and management of complex applications. It works by bundling Kubernetes resources and configurations into reusable packages known as 'Charts'.
Who maintains Helm?
The project is maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and is a graduated project within the open-source cloud native ecosystem. It is heavily supported by major tech companies and has become the de facto standard for Kubernetes deployments.
What is a Helm Chart?
A Helm Chart is a collection of files that describe a related set of Kubernetes resources and can be customized using variables called 'values'. They allow developers to easily define, install, and upgrade even the most complex Kubernetes applications using a single command.
What changed in Helm 3?
Helm 3, released in late 2019, introduced significant architectural changes, most notably the removal of Tiller, the server-side component used in Helm 2. This major update vastly improved security by allowing chart deployments to be entirely client-side and governed by standard Kubernetes RBAC.
