Helm Charts Kubernetes

Before deploying a Helm chart to a Kubernetes cluster, it's important to ensure that the chart is well-structured, syntactically correct, and logically sound. Helm provides built-in tools to help us catch issues early through linting and testing. The helm lint command analyzes our chart for common errors and best practice violations.

A Helm chart can be thought of as a Kubernetes package. Charts contain the declarative Kubernetes resource files required to deploy an application. Similar to an RPM, it can also declare one or more dependencies that the application needs in order to run.

As Kubernetes adoption continues to surge, managing complex applications across clusters becomes increasingly challenging. In fact, 70 of organizations have 11 or more of their workloads running with outdated Helm charts, highlighting the critical need for efficient deployment and management strategies. Helm charts have emerged as vital tools for simplifying Kubernetes application deployments.
