Helm is a command-line tool that manages Kubernetes applications using Helm Charts. It simplifies installing, upgrading, and rolling back complex Kubernetes workloads.
Use cases
- install and upgrade Kubernetes applications with a single command
- share and distribute reusable Kubernetes manifests as Helm Charts
- automate deployment pipelines in CI/CD systems for Kubernetes clusters
- manage versioned releases of applications across multiple environments
- roll back to previous application versions when an upgrade fails
When to choose
- You need a standardized way to package and distribute Kubernetes resources
- Your team wants reproducible deployments and easy rollbacks
- You are building CI/CD pipelines that target Kubernetes clusters
- You want to leverage a large ecosystem of pre-built charts from Artifact Hub
When to avoid
- You are not using Kubernetes as your runtime environment
- You require a GUI-based deployment tool rather than a CLI
- Your deployment model relies on custom scripting that cannot be expressed as Helm charts
