Overview of this book

Containerization is one of the best ways to implement DevOps, and learning how to execute it effectively is an essential part of a developer’s skillset. Kubernetes is the current industry standard for container orchestration. This book will help you discover the efficiency of managing applications running on Kubernetes with Helm. Starting with a brief introduction to Helm and its impact on users working with containers and Kubernetes, you’ll delve into the primitives of Helm charts and their architecture and use cases. From there, you’ll understand how to write Helm charts in order to automate application deployment on Kubernetes and work your way toward more advanced strategies. These enterprise-ready patterns are focused on concepts beyond the basics so that you can use Helm optimally, looking at topics related to automation, application development, delivery, lifecycle management, and security. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to leverage Helm to build, deploy, and manage applications on Kubernetes.

Using Helm with the Operator Framework

One of the advantages of using Helm is the ability to declaratively define an application’s desired state. With Helm, the desired state is managed with templates and Helm values, which, when provided using the install or upgrade commands, apply the values to synchronize the live state in a Kubernetes cluster. In previous chapters, this was performed by invoking those commands manually. Most recently, in Chapter 10, Automating Helm with CD and GitOps, we used Argo CD as a method of state synchronization.

Another way changes can be synchronized to a Kubernetes cluster is to use a controller that checks periodically that the desired state matches the current configuration in the environment. If the state does not match, the application can automatically modify the environment to match the desired state. This controller is the foundation of applications and is referred to as a Kubernetes operator.

In this chapter, we will create a Helm...
