Helm
Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that simplifies the deployment and management of applications on Kubernetes clusters. It uses charts, which are packages of pre-configured Kubernetes resources, to define, install, and upgrade complex applications. This tool helps automate the process of deploying applications, making it easier to manage configurations, dependencies, and releases in a Kubernetes environment.
Developers should learn Helm when working with Kubernetes to streamline application deployment, especially for complex microservices architectures or when managing multiple environments. It is particularly useful for scenarios requiring repeatable deployments, version control of configurations, and sharing application setups across teams. Helm reduces the manual effort of writing and applying Kubernetes YAML files, enhancing productivity and consistency.
