Overview

In Kubernetes, application management is the most needed and challenging. Helm provides a universal software packaging format and supports version management to reduce the complexity in distribution and deployment of Kubernetes applications.

Helm is a package management tool for Kubernetes, similar to apt, pip, and brew. Helm integrates a variety of Kubernetes resources in an application deployment into a single object, which is called a chart. Helm uses a template to provide the default deployment configuration, in which the variables can be modified. Helm also provides application lifecycle management, including update, rollback, and version tracking. For more information, see the Helm official documentation.

KCE integrates with features of Helm. KCE allows you to enable the Helm service with a few clicks and manage Helm applications in a visualized manner.
