Kubernetes is an excellent tool for container orchestration, but managing configurations and deployments manually can become cumbersome as your environment grows. Helm simplifies this process by introducing the concept of "charts." These charts encapsulate Kubernetes manifests, offering a reusable and templated solution for orchestrating deployments, services, config maps, and other Kubernetes resources. Overall, Helm makes deployments configurable, simpler, repeatable, and manageable.

In this talk, we will explore Helm 3, a graduated CNCF project, and its capabilities. We will show how to work with it, best practices, how to avoid common pitfalls, how you can publish your own charts, and how to integrate it into your development workflow. At the end, we also take a look at helmfile and how it can improve your helm and Kubernetes experience even more.
