What the Helm?!
Kubernetes IS the the cloud operating system, allowing to to do everything from resource management, to scheduling to networking. However, deploying applications of any complexity can be overwhelming. involving wrangling lots of YAML files. Oh! And good luck versioning your releases.
Most operating systems ship with a package manager. From apt to home brew to chocolatey, a package manager simplifies the act of installing software. So why don't we have one for Kubernetes?
Well, your wait is over. Say hello to Helm—the Kubernetes package manager. Helm, a CNCF project, aims to simplify deploying your applications to Kubernetes, with support for multiple environments, versioning, rollbacks and so much more.
In this session we will deep dive into Helm. We will see what it takes to package your applications using Helm, and discuss the benefits of folding Helm into your workflows. Single-click Kubernetes deployments, here we come!
