Summary

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that simplifies the installation and management of applications on a Kubernetes cluster, akin to Linux package managers like apt and yum. It offers a consistent and repeatable method to deploy complex applications and infrastructure through Helm charts, which are collections of files describing Kubernetes resources and configurations that can be versioned, shared, and customized. Helm is particularly suited for complex applications requiring multiple parameters, Kubernetes components, or custom resource definitions, and its templating features facilitate creating customizable files for different environments while securely managing sensitive information. Helm charts provide several benefits, including simplified deployment, consistency, versioning, sharing, modularity, and customization, making them valuable for DevOps teams by allowing for easy version tracking, collaboration, and flexible management of application components. Additionally, Qovery's new jobs feature has enhanced the deployment of Helm charts by providing an easier and more powerful way to leverage Helm's capabilities.
