Technology explained

What is Helm?

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that templates, versions and installs collections of Kubernetes resources as charts. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.

A chart combines templates, default values and metadata into a release that Helm tracks in the cluster. Values make reuse convenient, but rendered manifests, upgrade semantics, hooks and chart dependencies must be reviewed like application code.
