Helm Intro and Cheatsheet

• helmfile

  24 3,174 9.6 Go

  Declaratively deploy your Kubernetes manifests, Kustomize configs, and Charts as Helm releases. Generate all-in-one manifests for use with ArgoCD. (by helmfile)

  

Occasionally a wrapper like ArgoCD, Flux, helmfile, or pulumi will be useful to manage your helm deployments too, so that you don't have to keep track of a bunch of CLI commands.

• helm

  Helm charts for miscellaneous services that I use regularly (by colearendt)

For this example, we will use my generic chart, useful for deploying simple services with standard configuration or helm needs.

• InfluxDB

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

The other case where it may not be useful is in some internal applications. Maintaining a helm chart for an application can end up being a sizable amount of work, and they do not allow arbitrary inputs, so if you miss some key (i.e. "imagePullSecrets,") you can end up spending a lot of time key-chasing across your charts. I have heard of folks using Kustomize in such a situation, although another option is to use a meta chart (one chart for many apps) or Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) framework like Serverless, OpenFaas, Knative, etc.

  Posit Cheat Sheets - Can also be found at https://posit.co/resources/cheatsheets/. (by rstudio)

  

I took the time to arrange a "cheat sheet" of my favorite helm commands and the contexts in which they are useful. It was inspired by RStudio's array of excellent cheat sheets for the R community.

  The Kubernetes Package Manager

  

The helm project is an open source project. There is much that could be improved, and many applications that need helm charts or need improved helm charts. You can make a difference! If you are interested in learning more, check out the helm tag on this blog to see other writing on the topic, and start poking around on ArtifactHub, where lots of charts are centralized for easier searching!
