Making the Most of Helm 3

Helm 3, the latest version of the Kubernetes package manager, simplifies the process of creating, managing, and deploying applications using Helm Charts, which are collections of manifests describing Kubernetes resources. With the removal of Tiller, Helm 3 works seamlessly with Codefresh, allowing users to manage both Helm 2 and Helm 3 clusters. Codefresh enhances the Helm experience by providing a user-friendly interface for viewing Helm releases, monitoring environments, and integrating CI/CD actions, such as integration tests or notifications, into deployment pipelines. It also offers a Helm/Kubernetes Environments dashboard for tracking application statuses and a Helm promotion dashboard for application lifecycle management. These features allow developers to focus on writing code rather than managing deployment environments, making Helm and Codefresh a powerful combination for Kubernetes application deployment and management.
