summary
Helm is a Kubernetes package manager that packages apps as charts (templates + values), installs them with helm install, upgrades in-place, and rolls back revisions Helm records in-cluster so upgrades and rollbacks work reliably. Helm 3 is released and removes Tiller; releases are signed and a security audit calls Helm “recommended for public deployment.” Ecosystem tools include helm hub, chartmuseum, chart-testing and a Helm 2→3 migration plugin; OCI chart support is an experimental feature and there are ~1,000,000 downloads/month.
