Helm is an open-source tool that simplifies the deployment and management of applications on Kubernetes. As a package manager, it allows users to define, install, and upgrade even the most complex Kubernetes applications, making it an essential tool in the DevOps toolkit. Helm uses a packaging format known as charts, which are collections of pre-configured Kubernetes resources. This allows teams to manage their applications as if they were using a traditional package manager, significantly streamlining the deployment process.

Helm’s benefits include simplifying application deployment, managing application versions, and facilitating easy rollbacks to previous versions. It fosters a collaborative environment by enabling teams to share and reuse charts within organizations or across the wider community. Helm is widely adopted in organizations that leverage Kubernetes, as it enhances the ability to maintain consistency across environments while reducing the complexity of managing deployments. Helm also integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines, making it a go-to choice for DevOps teams looking to optimize their workflows.
