Helm: The Package Manager for Kubernetes
Source: helm.shintermediate
Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes. It uses a packaging format called Charts to define, install, and upgrade applications, making it the standard way to manage software on a K8s cluster. It is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) project.
Think of Helm as the `apt` or `yum` for your Kubernetes cluster. It's the official package manager that helps you find, share, and manage applications using "Charts"—a packaging format for defining, installing, and upgrading even complex software. As a CNCF graduated project with a large chart repository, it is the standard tool for deploying applications on Kubernetes.
