Taking Helm 3 For a Spin

Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes, enabling the installation of applications on Kubernetes clusters similarly to how yum or apt functions for Linux distributions. It offers features like integrated testing hooks, built-in rollbacks, release history, and chart dependencies, enhancing the lifecycle management of cluster applications. Despite the production-readiness of Helm 2, it faced adoption resistance due to misconceptions about its capabilities and its dependency on Tiller. Helm 3, which no longer requires Tiller, addresses these issues and is a client-only application that adheres to Kubernetes' RBAC security constraints. The new version supports using Helm 2 charts, facilitating transition for companies already using Helm 2, and has achieved general availability status, with support for deployment using platforms like Codefresh.
