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.

Helm template functions

One of the common traits of any templating language is the ability to transform data. Thus far, when referring to .Values or any of the other built-in objects within Helm, we have only made reference to the resource as-is, without any form of data manipulation. Where Helm really begins to shine and show its true power is its ability to perform complex data processing within templates through the use of template functions and pipelines.

Since Helm uses Go as the basis for its own templating language, it inherits the capabilities provided by functions. A Go template function is comparable to any other function that you may have interacted with in another programming language. Functions contain logic designed to consume certain inputs and provide an output based on the inputs that were provided.

When using Go templates, functions make use of the following syntax:

functionName arg1 arg2 . .

A function that is commonly used within Helm charts is the...
