= Understanding Helm
|
|
|
|
Helm is a software package manager that simplifies deployment of applications and services to {product-title} clusters.
|
|
|
|
Helm uses a packaging format called _charts_.
|
|
A Helm chart is a collection of files that describes the {product-title} resources.
|
|
|
|
A running instance of the chart in a cluster is called a _release_. A new release is created every time a chart is installed on the cluster.
|
|
|
|
Each time a chart is installed, or a release is upgraded or rolled back, an incremental revision is created.
|
|
|
|
|
|
== Key features
|
|
|
|
Helm provides the ability to:
|
|
|
|
* Search through a large collection of charts stored in the chart repository.
|
|
* Modify existing charts.
|
|
* Create your own charts with {product-title} or Kubernetes resources.
|
|
* Package and share your applications as charts.
