Helm

1. Charts: Helm charts are packages that contain Kubernetes resources, along with their configurations, templates, and dependencies.
2. Templates: Helm uses Go templating to dynamically generate Kubernetes manifest files based on customizable values.
3. Values: Charts can be parameterized using values files, enabling the customization of configurations for different environments or use cases.
4. Release Management: Helm manages releases, which are instances of charts deployed to a Kubernetes cluster. It handles installation, upgrades, and rollbacks.
5. Repository: Helm repositories store and distribute charts, making it easy to share and discover applications and services.
6. Dependency Management: Helm supports dependency management, allowing charts to depend on and include other charts.
7. Versioning: Charts can be versioned, enabling users to specify the desired version when deploying applications.
8. Linting and Testing: Helm provides tools for linting and testing charts to ensure they are well-structured and functional.

Helm simplifies the process of deploying and managing complex applications in Kubernetes by abstracting the complexity of Kubernetes manifests and configurations. It enables users to quickly and consistently deploy applications with the correct configurations across different environments. Helm has become a popular tool in the Kubernetes ecosystem for managing the lifecycle of applications in a more efficient and modular way.
