## What it is
A Helm v3 plugin that updates in-place Helm release metadata containing deprecated or removed Kubernetes APIs to supported APIs, or removes references to resources without successors. It is written in Go and distributed as a Helm plugin.

## Use cases
- fix helm releases that fail to upgrade after kubernetes version upgrade
- map deprecated kubernetes apis in helm release metadata to supported apis
- clean up removed api references from helm release storage
- repair helm releases stuck after cluster upgrade
- migrate helm release metadata to new kubernetes api versions

## When to choose
- you upgraded a Kubernetes cluster and Helm releases now reference removed APIs
- you need to fix release metadata in-place without redeploying
- you manage many Helm releases across cluster version upgrades

## When to avoid
- you need to update chart templates themselves to supported APIs
- you use Helm v2
- your latest release version is not in a deployed state and you cannot clean it up

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, configuration-management, deployment
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: helm-plugin, kubernetes, api-migration, deprecated-apis, release-metadata, devops, containers
