How and when to use Helm and Kustomize together
It's a built in feature of kustomize https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/blob/master/api/types/helmchartargs.go
-
Alternatives to Helm?
I think the combination of Kustomize and helm works in my experience. For advanced use cases, you can also see KRM functions in Kustomize.

How to pass dynamic values to Kustomize?
See for instance a related issue: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/issues/3866

Help with Kustomize: cleanest way to replace an environment variable in a pod or deployment?
Using a strategic merge is the safest way so you avoid the index fragility.
-
Helm makes it overly complex, or is it just me?
Rendering out the manifests is something I have been pushing for. Not having to understand how every templating tool works and what actually is being changed is key. Though, it gets complicated when you use helm (or any templating/patching tool) that produces many variants. You also lose any release/deployment time hooks that are provided (helm hooks or recently "patched" kustomize env variables).

Monokle, Kustomize & Quality Kubernetes Deployments
Kustomize is an open-source project that “lets you customize raw, template-free YAML files for multiple purposes, leaving the original YAML untouched and usable as is.” It’s now the most popular tool for customizing Kubernetes manifests reasonably, and it’s even built directly into the Kubernetes CLI since K8s v1.14.

Deploy IRIS Application to Azure Using CircleCI
What we’re going to install into the newly created AKS cluster is located in the helm directory. The descriptive Helmfile approach enables us to define applications and their settings in the helmfile.yaml file.

[2022] [Updated] Alternative to Helmfile
Is there any alternative to https://github.com/roboll/helmfile you are currently using in your company.

Projectsveltos: Manage Kubernetes addons in multiple clusters
Interesting, I have approached this problem using Helmfile (https://github.com/roboll/helmfile) to define a “platform release package.”
-
How are you handling ILM on kubernetes?
To make managing the Helm deployments a little easier I used helmfile (https://github.com/roboll/helmfile).
-
Helm Charts Microservices
But in general it's always easier to keep things quite separated. Meaning in separate helm releases. If you want to be able to manage things "together" at will, then you can use helmfile ( https://github.com/roboll/helmfile )
-
How to Build Software Like an SRE
I agree; helm is too declarative.
Whenever I can, I use helmfile[0] for storing variables for helm since it does add a declarative layer on top of helm.

helmfile sync vs helmfile apply
I went through the Helmfile repo Readme to figure out the difference between helmfile sync and helmfile apply. It seems like unlike the apply command, the sync command doesn't do a diff and helm upgrades the hell out of all releases 😃. But from the word sync, you'd expect the command to apply those releases that have been changed. There is also mention of the potential application of helmfile apply to periodically syncing of releases. Why not use helmfile sync for this purpose? Overall, the difference didn't become crystal clear, and I though there could probably be more to it. So, I'm asking.

Managing multiple repos
helmfile is something i’ve used in the past for this https://github.com/roboll/helmfile
-
Helm is both "package manager" and "templating engine" - probably the best package manager but horrible template engine
I always felt like dependencies in helm are for very simple non-coupled packages. I many times use Helmfile (https://github.com/roboll/helmfile) to manage dependencies instead of banging my head with vanilla Helm.

So I've installed grafana, loki, and prometheus on the personal Kubernetes cluster via Terraform. Now what?
Once you do that, learn to create dynamic helm charts that use go templating and conditionals: https://github.com/roboll/helmfile
