Taking the Helm: Delivering Kubernetes-Native Applications
summary
Helm packages Kubernetes apps as charts with templated manifests and a values.yaml API, installs via helm init which deploys a tiller pod that renders templates, stores release state in configmaps, and manages install, upgrade, rollback and delete. Demo shows helm install WordPress, helm upgrade updates containers without losing data. Charts live in HTTP chart repos (stable/incubator), there are ~65 contributors and about 30 stable charts, and a 2.0 release and Monocular UI are imminent.
