Definition

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that simplifies the deployment and management of applications on a Kubernetes cluster. It uses a templating system to define, install, and upgrade complex Kubernetes applications, known as Helm charts. These charts encapsulate Kubernetes resources and configurations, enabling version control and reuse of application configurations.
