Intro: Helm
summary
Helm is a Kubernetes package manager that packages deployable Kubernetes manifests into charts (a chart is a directory with templates, a Chart.yaml and values.yaml), installed as a tracked release (stored as ConfigMap/Secret or Postgres as of 2.14). History: client-only → client/server with tiller removed in Helm 3 to simplify RBAC. Repositories are simple HTTP servers with an index.yaml pointing to chart tarballs; Helm 3 experiments with OCI registries (currently works with Azure Container Registry). Community: ~488 CLI contributors, ~2,000 chart contributors, ~12,000 Slack members.
