Helm Chart

Definitions

1. A package format for Kubernetes applications containing templated YAML manifests, default configuration values, and metadata. Helm charts enable versioned, reproducible deployments and are distributed through chart repositories.

   In plain English: A pre-packaged recipe for deploying an application on Kubernetes, with configurable settings.

   Example: "Install the database with helm install postgres bitnami/postgresql — it sets up the StatefulSet, PVCs, and secrets automatically."
