Artifactory has introduced native support for Helm Chart repositories, allowing users to manage Kubernetes applications more efficiently by leveraging Helm, the package manager for Kubernetes. This integration enables users to deploy Helm Charts to local repositories, proxy remote Helm repositories, and aggregate them into a single virtual repository, providing easier access and control through a single endpoint. Virtual repositories are emphasized as the ideal approach, offering enhanced security, controlled domains, and simplified access to multiple repositories. Best practices include using separate virtual repositories for stable and incubator charts, adopting SemVer v2 versioning, and keeping users informed by customizing Helm package search capabilities. Additionally, the recalculation of the index.yaml file is supported for ensuring the integrity of repository metadata, with options to manage the metadata retrieval cache period and manually trigger recalculations. JFrog CLI can be used to deploy Helm Charts, as the Helm client does not support direct deployment.
