Preface

Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes, the popular open

source container management platform.
Package managers make platforms more accessible to those who
use them. In order to use a platform like Kubernetes, you need to
run software on it, and much of that software will be off-the-shelf or
shared. Package managers like Helm enable you to install and start
using the software quickly without needing to figure out how to
make it run or run well on the platform, because it has already been
packaged up in an easy-to-use manner.
If you have software you want to share with others, package
managers make it easy to do. Platforms are more useful when there
is a wide variety of software to run on them; open source projects
and companies both like to make their software easy to install on the
platforms it runs on, and Helm makes this possible for Kubernetes.
Package managers aren’t just for sharing and consuming others’
software, however. They are often an integral part of other systems,
such as DevOps tooling, and they are used as a building block.
Virtually every modern platform has a package manager. Operating
systems, programming languages, and cloud platforms all have
package managers of some form.
In this book you will learn about Helm, which provides modern
package management for Kubernetes, and the packages, called
charts, that you can use with it. You will learn how to use Helm, how
to create packages, and how to share those packages with other
platforms.
Who Should Read This Book
There are a few situations where you will find this book useful.
If you’re new to Kubernetes or want to learn how to install off-the-
shelf applications, this book will help you learn how to do that with
Helm. It is much easier and faster to install applications through
Helm than it is to learn how to do so by hand with Kubernetes.
If you work for a company (or a project) that wants to distribute
your applications to Kubernetes users in an easy-to-consume
manner, this book will teach you how to do that with Helm. Being
able to quickly install your application makes getting started easier,
and Helm can help you with that.
This book is also for DevOps professionals who want to learn to use
Kubernetes package management as part of their DevOps
toolchains. Helm provides powerful and advanced features that can
be used as building blocks for other automation. These have been
used to deploy large and complex applications onto Kubernetes, and
this book will teach you how to leverage those features.

Why We Wrote This Book

We, the authors, are maintainers of Helm, so we set out to write a
book to help those who have questions about it. We didn’t just want
to supply the technical details that are often found in the
documentation; we wanted to provide context and insight into what
Helm does and why.

Navigating This Book

The first three chapters introduce you to Helm and show you how to
use the Helm client. This begins in Chapter 1 with an overview of
where Helm sits within the cloud native ecosystem along with an
overview of its architecture. Chapters 2 and 3 address using the
Helm client, beginning with installing Helm and progressing to
advanced usage.
Chapters 4 through 6 cover creating packages for Helm. This begins
with how to create a package (Chapter 4), moves into learning the
template syntax (Chapter 5), and finishes with advanced features
(Chapter 6). If you want to create packages for Helm, these
chapters are for you.
Sharing packages, including their individual release versions, is
covered in Chapter 7. Sharing is important if you are distributing
software to others or sharing it between systems while using
DevOps processes.
Helm can be extended, which is covered in Chapter 8. There are
opportunities to customize Helm without needing to fork or
contribute functionality to Helm.
Two appendixes are provided with reference material. Appendix A
provides an overview of differences between current and legacy
packages, while Appendix B covers the repository API used for
sharing packages.
