Summary

Helm is an open source Kubernetes package manager that enables the efficient deployment and installation of applications or services in a cluster, using configurations and defined values within manifest files. Developers use Helm charts to specify every configuration necessary for a successful deployment, which are executed with commands using a command line interface. Helm charts store resource definitions in a central hub, enabling teams to sidestep deploying from scratch and start with a bespoke configuration that reduces the risk of misconfiguring resources. The Redis Enterprise Operator for Kubernetes is a tool that manages a Redis instance in Kubernetes at scale, controlling provisioning, scaling, and availability, and ensuring optimal performance by creating new resources as needed.
