Deploy a Helm chart with Octopus

Helm has become the go-to package manager for Kubernetes, offering features like rich templates, a powerful CLI, and centralized chart repositories, with Helm 3 addressing previous security concerns. Octopus Deploy supports deploying Helm charts to Kubernetes clusters, allowing users to manage deployments effectively. In this guide, Matthew Casperson illustrates using a sample Docker image to create a Helm chart, which is then packaged and uploaded to a built-in feed in Octopus, simplifying the deployment process. This approach eliminates the need for separate chart repositories, though Octopus still supports external repositories for accessing a range of third-party Kubernetes services. Deploying Helm charts with Octopus is streamlined, making it easier to manage both internal and external applications within Kubernetes environments.
