Deep Dive: Helm
summary
Helm 3 moves templating and hooks into an embedded Lua engine (optional escape hatch, treats K8s resources as objects), drops server-side Tiller and uses client-side rendering with CRDs as release storage, and adds chart-repo auth with helm push/login (OAuth2 tokens) plus partitioned index JSON, schema-validated values, managed hooks, and cleaner client libraries. An alpha is imminent and GA targets the first part of next year; migration tooling is planned to preserve or convert Helm 2 releases.
