Introducing Helm
Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes. Given a running Kubernetes cluster of any type, Helm is used to manage the deployment lifecycle of just about any type of Kubernetes resource, including the management of many Kubernetes runtime components. A very common analogy used in describing Helm is that Helm is to Kubernetes as apt is to Debian-based systems and yum or rpm is to Red Hat-based systems. Beyond package management, many aspects of configuration management are also built into Helm. Helm was initially developed by a company named Deis, which was acquired by Microsoft. Microsoft fully supported and accelerated the development of Helm, and it is now a part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).
