Overview of this book

Containerization is currently known to be one of the best ways to implement DevOps. While Docker introduced containers and changed the DevOps era, Google developed an extensive container orchestration system, Kubernetes, which is now considered the frontrunner in container orchestration. With the help of this book, you’ll explore the efficiency of managing applications running on Kubernetes using Helm. Starting with a short introduction to Helm and how it can benefit the entire container environment, you’ll then delve into the architectural aspects, in addition to learning about Helm charts and its use cases. You’ll understand how to write Helm charts in order to automate application deployment on Kubernetes. Focused on providing enterprise-ready patterns relating to Helm and automation, the book covers best practices for application development, delivery, and lifecycle management with Helm. By the end of this Kubernetes book, you will have learned how to leverage Helm to develop an enterprise pattern for application delivery.

Improving chart tests with the chart testing project

The tests written in the previous section are sufficient enough to test whether the Guestbook application can be successfully installed. However, there are some key limitations that are inherent to the standard Helm testing process that need to be called out.

The first limitation to consider is the difficulty of testing the different permutations that can occur within a chart's values. Because the helm test command does not provide the ability to modify your release's values beyond those set at the time of an installation or upgrade, the following workflow must be followed when running helm test against different values settings:

  1. Install your chart with an initial set of values.
  2. Run helm test against your release.
  3. Delete your release.
  4. Install your chart with a different set of values.
  5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until a significant amount of value possibilities are tested.
