Helm

Helm is a package manager for applications that run in Kubernetes clusters. It groups related Kubernetes resources into versioned charts that can be shared, installed, upgraded, or rolled back. Charts can depend on other charts, and teams can supply different values for development, staging, and production. Helm manages applications such as databases, monitoring stacks, and ingress controllers. Its command-line client communicates with the Kubernetes API server; the Helm library carries out chart operations. Release information is kept in Kubernetes Secrets, so Helm does not require a separate database. Charts can be stored locally or fetched from remote repositories, and plugins can extend Helm, including with custom download protocols. Helm is a self-managed command-line tool for Linux, macOS, and Windows, licensed under Apache-2.0. Its listed plan costs nothing. Helm's scope is applications in a cluster, not setting up or operating the cluster itself.
