   Official Docker Image for Node.js :whale: :turtle: :rocket:

   

   This instructs docker to start building our image from an existing node image based on Alpine Linux. Alpine distribution is the smallest Linux distribution which allows building lightweight images.

5. helm

   The Kubernetes Package Manager

   

   Kubernetes orchestrates deployments and manages resources through yaml configuration files. While Kubernetes supports a wide array of resources and configurations, our aim in this tutorial is to maintain simplicity. For the sake of clarity and ease of understanding, we will use yaml configurations with hardcoded values. This method simplifies the learning process but isn’t ideal for production environments due to the need for manual updates with each new deployment. Although there are methods to streamline and automate this process, such as using Helm charts or bash scripts, we’ll not delve into those techniques to keep the tutorial manageable and avoid fatigue — you might be quite tired by that point!
