Helm is a package manager designed to simplify the management of Kubernetes applications by using Helm templates and charts, which help generate manifest files that Kubernetes can understand. This blog post guides users through setting up their first Helm chart, highlighting how Helm can streamline the process of managing complex resources by treating multiple microservices as a single entity and offering features such as installation, upgrade, and rollback of releases. The tutorial differentiates Helm from Kubernetes Operators, emphasizing that while both tools automate tasks, they serve distinct purposes: Helm focuses on packaging applications, while Operators translate user knowledge into code. The post also provides a step-by-step guide to integrating Helm with a Codefresh pipeline, demonstrating how Codefresh's built-in support for Helm charts and Docker image management can enhance microservice development. It concludes by inviting users to share their experiences and offers a call to action for new users to create a free Codefresh account.
