Helm for Beginners

Introduction

Course Introduction

Hello, and welcome to the Helm course! My name is Mumshad Mannambeth, and I will be your instructor throughout this guide. In this course, we'll explore how Helm simplifies deploying and managing applications on a Kubernetes cluster, making your container orchestration process more efficient.

What You'll Learn

In this course, you will discover:

  • The fundamentals of Helm, including installation procedures and a quick start guide.
  • The detailed architecture and core components of Helm, such as charts, repositories, releases, and revisions.

The image lists objectives related to Helm, including topics like installation, architecture, charts, functions, pipelines, and more. It appears to be from a KodeKloud course or presentation.

Next, we will dive into creating and managing charts from scratch and explore advanced features like functions, pipelines, conditionals, with blocks, ranges, and hooks. We'll also cover the process of packaging, signing, and uploading charts for distribution.

Note

This course is enhanced with video lectures that simplify complex topics, followed by interactive hands-on labs. These labs allow you to work with a real Kubernetes cluster directly in your browser, so you can immediately apply what you've learned.

Helm Command Examples

Below is an example that demonstrates how to use Helm's search functionality:

helm search

Once you're familiar with searching for Helm charts, you can proceed with tasks like adding a chart repository. For instance, the following command adds the Bitnami repository:

helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami

I’m excited to get started, and I look forward to guiding you through this course. Enjoy your learning journey with Helm!
