Helm

I am beginning to explore Helm now that I have access to a Kubernetes system.

Helm is the release manager for K8S. You use this to deploy “releases” to a Kubernetes envionment.

It’s amazing the amount of useful info that is returned.

helm get – returns the list of currently deployed releases.

You need helm get -a to include the ones that have failed to deploy.

helm get values <release name>

or

helm get manifest <release name>

reveal much of the details of the infrastructure.

I hope to turn this into a visualization.
