Keynote: Getting to Know Helm 3 - Scott Coulton, Principal Cloud Advocate, Microsoft
summary
Helm 3 is stable and removes Tiller so cluster operations use normal kube credentials and releases are stored as secrets in namespaces; the client now follows the XDG spec for config and plugins, and the Go SDK is the supported embeddable API. Charts change: dependencies live in Chart.yaml, CRDs live in a special crd directory, and Chart.json schema enables validation. The upgrade path uses a migration plugin and Helm 3 uses a three‑way strategic merge of old, new and live state. Experimental feature: OCI chart push to container registries.
