In our journey through Helm for Beginners, we’ve installed Helm and deployed our first chart. Now, let’s take a closer look at the heart of Helm: charts. Helm charts are the packaging format used to describe Kubernetes applications. In this third part of the series, we’ll embark on a deep dive into the structure of Helm charts. We’ll explore the purpose of key files like `Chart.yaml`, `values.yaml`, and the `templates` directory. So, let’s unravel the inner workings of Helm charts!

Now that we’ve grasped the significance of the Helm in Kubernetes, let’s dive into the practical aspects. In this second part of the “Helm for Beginners” series, we’ll guide you through the process of installing Helm on your local machine and a Kubernetes cluster. Additionally, we’ll walk through creating a basic Helm chart and deploying it to the cluster. So, let’s get started on the path to Helm mastery!

Kubernetes, with its container orchestration prowess, has revolutionized the deployment and scaling of applications. However, as the complexity of applications grows, managing Kubernetes manifests becomes a challenging task. This is where Helm, a powerful package manager for Kubernetes, steps in to simplify and streamline the deployment process.
