Helm Basics

Package management for K8s

Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes. It bundles manifests into reusable charts.

Core concepts:

Chart: Package of K8s manifests with templating
Release: Instance of a chart deployed to cluster
Values: Configuration that customizes a chart

Common commands:

helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
helm install my-release bitnami/nginx
helm upgrade my-release bitnami/nginx --set replicaCount=3
helm rollback my-release 1

Interview tip: Know when to use Helm vs raw manifests. Helm adds complexity but enables versioning and rollbacks.
