Helm is a tool that streamlines installation and management of Kubernetes applications. Think of Helm as an apt/yum/homebrew for Kubernetes. This repository provides learning materials for Helm.
The default branch of this repo is master and it uses the current major release of Helm which is v3. If you
are using Helm v2 then go to the helm-v2 branch. Please refer to Helm Status
for more details on the different Helm releases.
Helm v3 was released in November 2019. The interface is quite similar but there are major changes to the architecture and internal plumbing of Helm, essentially making it a new product when compared forensically against Helm 2. Check out what’s in Helm 3 for more details.
The Helm 2 Support Plan documents a 1 year "maintenance mode" for Helm v2. It states the following:
- 6 month bug fixes until May 13 2020
- 6 month security fixes until November 13 2020
- At 1 year on November 13 2020, support for Helm v2 will end
