Intro: Helm - Taylor Thomas, Microsoft
This talk will explore how Helm, a package manager for Kubernetes, streamlines the on boarding and managing of applications running on Kubernetes. Kubernetes packages, called Charts, provide a way to deploy configurable, out-of-the-box applications, or package your own applications. In this demo-led session, we’ll show how you can use Helm to improve your deployment workflows, best practices for creating and configuring Kubernetes Charts, and lessons we’ve learned building Helm along the way. We'll also touch on what to expect in the next major version of Helm.

Okay,
so
a
few
of
you,
so
the
majority
of
you
are
new
to
helm.
So
this
is
going
to
be
assuming
you
at
least
know
some
of
the
basics
about
kubernetes.
As
we
talk
about
the
different
parts
of
of
helm
and
how
it
works.
I'm,
like
I,
said
the
Internet's
been
a
little
bit
difficult.
So
we'll
see,
if
it's
back
on
by
the
time
we
get
to
the
demos
first
off
I
wanted
to
make
a
big
acknowledgement
here.
A
A
It
also
has
some
help
for
lifecycle
management,
so
there's
a
thing
called
hooks,
which
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about,
so
you
can
do
things
that
run
after
you've
installed
an
application
or
before
you
install
an
application,
and
it
also
allows
you
to
upgrade
an
application
or
rollback
an
application
and
do
some
tests
as
well.
So
let's
cover
just
some
core
concepts
here.
So
first
things:
first,
you
have
a
chart
and
a
chart
is
says:
they're
an
expert
built
recipe
for
installing
an
application.
So
this
is
like
the
package
itself.
A
You
you're
going
to
be
using
a
chart
as
kind
of
the
the
baseline
for
what's
installed.
Values
are
what
you,
as
a
user,
specify
as
configuration
for
this
application
and
a
release,
is
a
combination
of
chart
and
values
that
get
deployed
into
kubernetes.
So
first
off
these
are
the
instructions.
I
thought
we
might
have
some
internet
connection.
So
we
don't.
So
please
don't
try
this
right
now.
You'll
just
kill
the
Wi-Fi,
but
these
slides
are
are
online
and
you'll,
be
able
to
download
them
and
follow
these
steps.
A
It
shows
how
to
install
helm
I'm,
not
sure
how
many
cube
works
here
in
China,
but
if
you
can
get
a
kubernetes
cluster
to
try
against
just
make
sure
you
have
a
kubernetes
cluster
up
and
running
the
first
thing
that
you'll
run
and
I'll
show
how
this
works
is
something
called
Hellman.
It
Hellman.
It
is
a
nice
handy
way
to
make
sure
everything's
set
up.
So
if
it's
your
first
time
writing
helm,
it's
actually
going
to
set
up
the
directories.
A
There's
two
parts,
there's
the
actual
helm
application,
and
then
there
is
the
tiller
application
that
runs
inside
of
the
cluster
itself
like
it
shows
here
it's
running
as
a
pod
inside
kubernetes
and
it
talks
to
helm
the
helm,
client
talks
to
tiller
over
T
RPC.
It's
the
one,
that's
actually
doing
the
work
of
managing
the
releases
that
are
inside
of
your
cluster,
so
remember
that
release
is
the
values
plus
the
chart.
It's
MIT,
it's
managing
the
entire
lifecycle
of
that
inside
of
the
cluster.
This
is
a
it'll,
be
changing
at
helm.
A
3
I'll
actually
be
giving
a
talk
tomorrow.
That's
good
I
think
in
the
same
room
that
is
a
deep
dive
into
helm
3,
but
this
will
be
going
so
still
got
me.
Ok,
so
we'll
be
making
sure
that
we
explain
that
some
more
tomorrow,
but
just
know
that
it
will
be
going
away,
but
you
need
to
know
about
it
for
now.
So
next,
let's
talk
about
charts.
These
are
application
definitions.
How
many
of
you
who
have
done
kubernetes
have
seen
like
at
what
a
deployment
looks
like
okay,
so
see.
A
A
It
also
has
a
some
metadata
that
goes
along
with
it.
We
have
a
chart
gamal,
which
I'll
show
an
example
of
that
contains
metadata
and
some
a
little
bit
of
the
documentation.
There's
also
some
configuration
in
the
form
of
like
default
values
that
go
that
get
installed.
Charts
live
inside
of
chart
repositories.
Now
all
that
a
chart
repository
is,
is
a
web
server
hosted
anywhere?
You
want
that.
Has
charts
in
a
tarball
so
tgz
with
a
with
an
index
file
that
shows
exactly
which,
which
charts
are
available
and
so
you'll
be
you'll,
see
those
everywhere.
A
The
most
common
one
is
the
one
that
comes
built
in
with
helm
and
that's
the
stable
chart
repository
and
the
stable
chart
repository
contains
things
that
are
managed
by
people
in
the
community.
These
are
things
like
elastic
chart,
alleged
elastic
charts,
sorry,
elastic
search
and
nginx
and
I
mean
there's
it's
a
massive
amount
of
charts
that
you
can
find
inside
of
there.
So
where
do
you
find
those?
A
It's
actually
found
at
github,
comm,
slash,
helm,
slash,
charts
and
you
can
find
both
the
incubator,
which
is
where
new
charts
land
before
they're
released
to
like
production,
it's
kind
of
like
the
staging
environment
for
charts
last
time,
I
counted,
which
is
about
a
week
or
two
ago
we
had
218,
stable
charts
and
53
incubator
charts
will
show
how
you
can
install
those.
The
other
thing.
That's
actually
really
helpful.
If
you
want
a
GUI
to
look
at
this
with,
there
is
hub,
cube,
apps
calm.
A
This
is
actually
powered
by
something
written
by
bit.
Nami
called
monocular,
but,
as
you
can
see
in
the
screenshot
here,
it
actually
has
a
way
of
visually.
Looking
at
all
of
the
charts
that
are
available
to
you,
if
you
install
monocular
and
things
on
your
own
cluster,
you
can
do
other
cool
stuff,
like
you,
click
on
the
application
and
installed
in
your
cluster
automatically,
but
you
can
browse
all
the
charts
here
and
see
all
their
documentation.
A
So,
like
I
said,
a
chart,
repository
has
an
indexed
IMO
file.
Has
that
webserver
that's
available
and
the
other
thing
that's
been
released
in
the
past
year
is
something
called
sharp
Museum.
So,
instead
of
having
to
do
all
the
work
of
packaging
up,
the
charts
yourself
chart
museum
is
an
API
that
you
can
submit
your
chart
to
and
it
will
automatically
update
the
index
and
everything
for
you.
It's
a
great
open
source
project,
it's
under
the
helm
umbrella.
So
if
you're
interested
in
that,
we
can
talk
some
more
after.
A
So
just
a
quick
recap,
as
we've
gone
over
these
different
components,
helm
is
the
client
tiller
is
the
server
that
helm
talks
to
charts?
Are
the
package
that
you're
installing
and
a
chart
plus
values
that
you
provided
are
the
release
object
so
with
that?
Let's
go
to
demo
time,
let's
see
if
the
Internet's
working
first
off,
maybe
if
it
doesn't
then
I
apologize,
we're
gonna
see.
Oh.
B
A
A
A
Show
what
it
would
look
like
I
can't
actually
run
the
command,
but
if
you're
running,
if
you
want
to
install
an
application,
you
can
easily
do
it
with
a
helm.
Install
and
all
it
is
is
so.
This
is
a
good
example
right
here,
so
how
many
of
you
know
what
an
ingress
controller
is?
Okay,
so,
if
you've
heard
of
an
ingress
controller
generally,
they
can
be
a
little
bit
finicky
and
you
have
to
set
up
things
well
kind
of
the
general
way
you
can
do.
A
So
sorry,
I
can't
demo
the
Internet's
being
kind
of
a
nightmare,
but
Hellman
Stoll
is
all
it
requires
when
you're
and
then,
when
you
want
to
upgrade
your
application,
it
just
becomes
as
simple
as
saying
helm
upgrade
and
then
the
name
of
your
application,
and
so
you
might
have
named
it
like
ingress
or
whatever,
and
then
you
can
say
stable,
nginx,
slash,
ingress
and
that
will
allow
you
to
upgrade
to
the
next
version
or
whatever
you
want
to
do
to
be
able
to
upgrade
that
application.
You
can
also
do
a
rollback
and
say:
hey.
A
This
thing
failed,
so
I'm
going
to
pull
it
back.
Unfortunately,
I
can't
do
it
yet
so
sorry
about
that,
but
let's
continue
with
some
of
the
explanation.
So
a
lot
of
the
question
that
questions
that
I
get
is
like.
What
does
this
chart?
Look
like?
How
do
we
put
one
together,
oftentimes
you're
gonna
just
be
reusing
things
that
people
have
already
created
like
there's.
A
No
need
for
you
to
go,
write
your
own
ingress
chart
and
that's
why
we
have
these
already
provided
so
we're
gonna
talk
a
little
bit
about
how
that
works
so
to
create
a
chart,
it's
actually
helm,
create
and
then
the
name
of
the
chart
you
want
to
do
that
dumps
a
whole
scaffolded
app.
It
actually
looks
like
this
in
the
directory.
So
you'll
see
this
thing
that
says:
here's
my
app,
if
you
called
it
Elm
create
my
app.
A
It's
gonna
create
a
my
app
directory
and
then
and
dump
out
a
chart
gamal
the
reaming
for
the
chart,
and
then
your
templates
and
your
values.
So,
first
off,
let's
look
at
what
the
templates
look
like
inside
of
your
templates
directory
your
basic
ones
like
the
basic
way
you
get
a
kubernetes
app
running.
Is
you
have
a
deployment
and
you
have
a
service
that
exposes
that
deployment
in
some
way?
A
And
so
what
that
looks
like
is,
if
we
look
at
the
things
here,
so
you
have
a
values:
AML
file,
okay
and
the
values
file
contains
different
things
that
can
be
used
inside
the
chart.
So
if
you
see
here
in
the
chart
below
that
deployment,
dot
yeah
man
we
mentioned
it
has
right,
there
has
the
name,
it
says:
dot
chart
name,
so
that's
actually
coming
from
the
chart
ml
file,
and
then
you
have
dot
values
image.
Anything
that's
inside
this
values
file
is
exposed
in
values,
object,
so
dot
value.
A
Image
is
going
to
use
my
company
/
my
app
1.0.0,
and
so
that's
going
to
put
it
right
there
inside
of
the
file
for
you.
If
you,
as
a
user,
have
a
different
image
you
want
to
use
like
you've
built
a
custom
one
for
your
company,
then
you
can
actually
specify
that
image
name
with
with
another
values
file
or
something
called
the
set
flag.
So
to
show
you
what
that
would
look
like.
A
So
you
can
actually
do
some
really
cool
things
to
the
value
files.
You
can
specify
multiple
value
files.
This
allows
you
have
like.
Let's
say
you
have
like
a
base
values
file
for
everything
that
you
do
and
then
you
could
have
another
specific
one
per
reach
per
region
and
you
can
actually
specify
all
of
those
values
files
and
it
merges
them
together
into
a
final.
What's
inside
of
your
values,
just
some
tips
for
your
value
files
when
you
start
creating
them,
always
use
lowercase
keys,
so
don't
have
all
all
caps
or
start
the
caps.
A
The
standard
is
that
you
have
a
lowercase
and
generate
a
lower
camel
case,
like
the
image
pull
policy
for
your
key
names.
It's
always
a
good
idea
to
make
your
image
configurable,
because
somebody
like
I
said
might
want
to
tweak
that
image
or
tweak
specific
configurations
inside
of
it
and
then
make
sure
you
always
comment.
So
the
default
doesn't
have
any
comments.
But
when
you
add
a
value
comment
exactly
what
that
value
does,
because
people
will
want
to
know
exactly
what
each
thing
that
you
expose
does
to
the
application.
A
So
just
remember
that
when
you're
you're
looking
at
your
values
file
so
like
I
showed
I'm,
you
can
configure
with
setting
whatever
values
you
want.
So
this
wouldn't
set
the
port
to
8080
in
whatever
app
that
you're
creating.
So
in
that,
in
that
new
chart
that
we
just
created
when
we
type
helm,
create
my
app
now,
I
could
do
helm,
install
set
service,
dot
port
to
my
two
8080
and
then
my
app,
and
you
can
also
pass
a
completely
new
values
file
like
that.
A
A
So
inside
of
the
requirements
AML
file,
you
can
list
have
a
list
of
dependencies
that
are
required
to
install
that
chart
and
marija
DB
is
a
classic
one,
because
it's
used
in
the
WordPress
chart,
and
so
basically,
these
this
becomes
like
your
vendor
directory
of
different
charts
that
you
need
to
run
everything
and
it
makes
it
much
easier
than
having
to
go
pull
in
each
of
these
manually.
So
and
so
before
running
your
app,
you
don't
have
to
go
helm,
install
Maria
DB.
A
Now
you
can
just
say,
helm
install
my
app
and
it's
automatically
going
to
install
Maria
DB
with
it,
and
it's
going
to
be
part
of
the
same
release.
So
when
you
look
at
the
the
release,
it'll
show
you
that
it
has
your
deployment
with
your
image
that
you've
specified
and
then
a
Maria
DB
instance
reading
and
all
of
its
volumes
and
things,
and
the
other
thing
to
know
about
is
inside
of
the
templates.
A
There's
also
a
note,
stat
text
file,
the
notes
text
file
is
actually
uses
that
same
template
from
before
the
go
templating
that
you
see
right
here.
So
you
can
put
that
inside
of
this
notes
text
and
when
it's
done
installing.
That's
that
notes,
dot
text
file
is
printed
out
after
any
installer
upgrade,
and
so
all
of
these
stable
charts
have
this.
And
so,
when
you
do
install
the
stable,
nginx
ingress
you're
going
to
get
notes
out
that
say,
you'll
be
able
to
use
your
ingress
now.
A
Here's
an
example
ingress
and
here's
the
port
that
you
can
find
things
configured
at.
It's
really
a
good
place
to
put
like
your
QuickStart
instructions
after
you
have
installed
an
app.
So
what
you'll
find
is,
as
you
use
this
at
your
companies
and
for
side
projects,
possibly
as
well,
that
your
you'll
want
to
explain
to
users
what
happens
next.
A
So,
if
you're,
installing
a
minecraft
server
which
I'm
pretty
sure
there
is
a
Minecraft
chart,
you
could
then
take
that
the
the
note
text
and
make
sure
it
spits
out
here's
how
you
connect
to
your
server
and
have
the
exact
port
name
that
it
means
our
port
number.
It
needs
to
talk
to
the
best
charts
out.
There
really
have
a
detailed
notes
that
get
printed
out
after
the
other
thing
to
remember
is
the
readme
file.
That's
pretty
self-explanatory.
A
If
you've
written
code
you've
seen
a
readme
file,
it's
the
first
thing
that
people
will
look
at
most
good
charts
have
all
of
their
values
documented
in
there,
so
what
each
value
does
and
what
the
default
is.
It
also
will
describe
like
if
there's
any
other
prerequisites
you
need
before
installing
this
chart
and
then
we'll
explain,
basic
instructions
of
how
to
install
and
upgrade
the
chart
and
how
to
delete
the
chart.
A
So
last
is
the
metadata
file
which
is
chart
Gamal.
It
contains
some
general
metadata
about
the
chart,
whether
that's
the
just
the
name,
but
the
good
ones
always
have
a
name.
A
description
of
what
the
chart
is
the
different
source
code,
so,
for
example,
for
WordPress
it
has
a
link
to
the
WordPress
site,
so
it
you
know
where
the
code
is
coming
from
and
it
also
describes
who
the
maintainer
z'
of
that
chart
are
another
important
thing.
That's
in
the
chart
I
animal
is.
It
can
contains
a
semantic
version
of
that
chart.
A
So
you're
gonna
see
like
0
1
0
inside
it.
There
that's
what's
used
when
you're
installing
a
specific
version.
So
when
you
go
helm
install
you
can
actually
install
any
number
of
versions
of
an
app
and
that
is
specified
in
the
chart.
Diamo
file
also
there's
a
keyword
section
in
there
that
allows
you
to
say
what
it's
searchable
by.
A
Ok,
so
last
but
not
least,
a
hell,
a
helmet
is
the
funny
term.
We
use
to
refer
to
users
and
contributors
to
helm.
If
you
want
to
become
one
just
I
have
a
couple
pro
tips
for
you.
First
off
is
what's
about
the
home
community
here,
so
there's
lots
of
contributors.
Last
time
I
checked,
there
were
391
different
contributors
to
helm
on
github
we
have
two
main
kubernetes,
slack
channels,
helm
users
and
helm
dev,
helm
dev
is
for
people
who
are
working
on
helmets.
A
Elf,
helm
users
is
for
the
people
who
are
actually
just
using
the
using
helm
as
a
project
and
not
writing
any
code
for
it.
There's
also
I
forgot
to
mention
here.
The
charts
channel
and
the
charts
channel
is
all
about
people
who
are
writing
charts
that
you
want
to
share
with
others.
They
always
keep
a
good
conversation
going
in
there.
The
other
thing
to
know
about
is
that
we
have
weekly
updates
and
demos
at
sometimes
the
sig
apps
me
kubernetes
a
gaps,
and
we
have
a
public
helm
developer.
A
Call
it's
at
0,
9:30,
Pacific
time
on
Thursdays.
Now,
that's
gonna
be
at
a
weird
time
here,
but
it
is
recorded
and
they're
available
online
and
then,
if
you
want
to
see
the
documentation,
the
documentation
for
helm
is
available
at
Doc's,
helmed
Sh,
and
that
has
all
this
information
that
I've
told
you
and
even
more
about
advanced
configuration,
because
you
might
have
questions
like
how
do
I
get
this
started
with
I
have
our
back
enabled
in
my
cluster.
That's
one
of
the
first
things.
A
A
This
will
be,
these
are
actual
like
links,
you
can
click
on
in
the
slide
deck
you
can
download
it
from
the
the
schedule
page,
but
there's
the
QuickStart,
that's
how
you
just
get
up
and
running
really
quick
and
then
the
docks
that
I
mentioned
and
then,
if
you
want
some
tips
and
tricks.
This
is
a
YouTube
video
of
people
who
gave
some
really
interesting
examples
on
what
to
do
with
with
charts
and
when
you're
writing
them.
So
let
me
see
before
I
take
questions.
A
C
A
So
I
would
actually
do
both
I'm
at
the
same
time,
so
you
can
always
open
a
PR
against
anything,
helm,
related
charts
or
the
helm
project.
So
if
it's
a
chart,
you're
gonna
want
to
make
sure
it
is
well
documented.
So
you
have
a
well-documented
readme
look
at
any
of
the
examples
in
the
stable
repository
and
kind
of
mimic.
Those
so
make
sure
you
have
everything
documented.
A
You
have
a
good
notes
text
and
that
it
follows
the
patterns
that
you
see
in
other
charts
and
then
I
would
also
talk
to
the
chart
maintainer
in
the
charts
channel
on
kubernetes.
If,
especially,
if
you
don't
get
any
traction,
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
goes
on
inside
of
there,
and
so
sometimes
it
just
gets
lost.
And
so
you
just
don't
don't
feel
bad
about
pinging
people
or
it's
good
to
do
that
because
then
we're
like,
oh
sorry
and
we'll
go
take
care
of
it.
If
we
miss
it
for
some
reason
and
a.
A
The
way
it's
gonna
happen
is
that
one
of
the
main
chart,
maintainer
x',
will
look
it
over
for
consistency
and
making
sure
it's
a
well
developed
chart,
but
then
whoever's
managed
the
application
is
generally
one
of
the
maintainer
x'
of
that
chart.
So
we've
been
trying,
for
example,
elasticsearch
is
one
I
think
where
the
people
who
actually
write
elasticsearch
or
one
of
the
people
who
maintain
the
chart
to
make
sure
that
they're
that
it's
good
from
the
software
perspective,
because
we
don't
have
knowledge
of
every
single
application.
A
That's
in
there,
so
the
chart
maintainer
will
just
make
sure
that
it
is
well
well
maintained
and
they
can
it's
well
built
I
should
say,
and
then
the
from
there
they'll
just
double
check
that
it's
good
with.
If
you
are
the
writer,
if
you
are
the
author
of
that
software,
then
they'll
be
like
okay,
then
as
long
as
you're,
okay,
with
maintaining
this.
So
if
anyone
else
from
the
community
says
I
want
to
change
your
chart
with
this,
that
you'll
be
able
to
help
review
it
yeah
any
questions.
Yeah.
A
So
if
you
look
inside
of
your
your
coop
system
namespace,
when
you
have
a
running
tiller,
it's
going
to
list
every
single
one
of
those
config
maps
that
you
have
including
past
versions
that
allow
you
to
roll
back
to
them
and
then,
if
you
ever
delete
tiller
whether
to
like
just
perform
maintenance
or
if
you
need
to
roll
it,
it's
just
going
to
and
it's
gonna
look
in
the
same
place
and
pick
everything
back
up.
So
you're
not
going
to
lose
state.
