The best tutorial for beginners.

[@andrewdear5186]

FYI to anyone doing this with the docker k8s , on the test deploy around 6:00 you will need to use the port found in the PORT(S) section from kube get all, For instance mine was 80:30415/TCP . When trying to connect on localhost:80 i see nothing, when using localhost:30415 i can then see the site. I am guessing that internal needs another command to expose on port 80 but at least this gets you going for the rest of the tutorial.

[@tommyleong8328]

[@abanhidy]

Hi! That was an amazing and well done created very very cool video. A really liked it! Of course I am going to look around your videos and probably will find a solution what I am looking for...but as you mentioned at the end of your video...let ask you... Question would be: is it possible to manage more than one pod (with one container), for example manage 5 pods with one helm? I mean under the 5 different pods, that all pods have unique containers inside, like one for backEnd, one for UI, one for monitoring, one for DB, etc... Thanks again your excellent video, and thanks for your answer!

[@nitinvishwakarma788]

8:55 , I got this error ``` Error: UPGRADE FAILED: cannot patch "mydeployment" with kind Deployment: Deployment.apps "mydeployment" is invalid: spec.selector: Invalid value: v1.LabelSelector{MatchLabels:map[string]string{"app":"myhelmapp", "tier":"frontend"}, MatchExpressions:[]v1.LabelSelectorRequirement(nil)}: field is immutable ``` had to delete and create a new helm release

best helm tutorial, thanks you

[@DevOpsHawk]

In Helm version >=3.2.0 version, you can create the namespace by passing the `--create-namespace` flag with helm command if not present. Hope this helps someone.

[@fatihonur.]

what is the purpose of showing servicename before the kubectl command if you are not using it?

[@manikandan16dec]

I have the same question. I guess it’s just getting the service name to do port forward. It’s not printing an output so really don’t understand the purpose.

[@chijinduiwuchukwu230]

Thanks so much for the video. If working with EKS, do I still need to run the port forwarding command?

[@stephenenyidede1125]

Awesome video... I have a question though. What if you have multiple deployment files with different files for their values (tier=frontend, tier=backend), would one not override the other since the have same key but different values?

[@DevOpsJourney]

Yes they apply in the order you specify them

[@stephenenyidede1125]

@@DevOpsJourney Would it be possible to create the backend deployment and its values.yml file and deploy it in a namespace, and then create a frontend configuration with it's own values file and deploy as well?

[@DevOpsJourney]

@@stephenenyidede1125 yes, I'm not 100% clear on exactly what you are deploying, but I can guarantee you the flexibility is there.

[@nirmesh44]

best explanation ever!

[@vaibhav.v6403]

Thanks very nice explanations 😊

[@tonyc2227]

Just FYI. I noticed changing any part of the config map and running "helm upgrade" didn't trigger a redeployment. Only doing "helm uninstall" and only "helm install" will display the new content

[@DevOpsJourney]

thanks for pointing this out. you can manually restart the pods as well and they will get the new config map values. You can also use something like Kustomize and it takes care of configmap rolling for you.

[@tharangawirthamulla9081]

Yah Thanks a lot it is clear and simple

[@vishalk17]

It looks like just a piece of cake now. Thanks anyway. I never thought it would be this easy. 😃

[@zohaibsaeed4063]

Great tutorial i need to deploy 25 microservice should i use 1 helm for 1 microservice or each helm for every micro service.

[@DevOpsJourney]

Hey There. You should create separate Helm charts for each microservice and use a single Helm chart called a "Helm Chart Aggregator" to manage the deployments of all 25 microservices. This Helm Chart Aggregator will allow you to deploy, manage, and configure the 25 microservices with a single command. You also might see some benefit with using Kustomize, especially if you have multiple environments. Also if you are managing so many microservices, you may want to look into ArgoCD. Cheers and good luck!

Hi, this was a great video to watch for better understanding of Helm. I need to create a helm chart that will deploy MongoDB into kubernetes cluster. Do you know any articles or videos I can follow to help me with this?

minikube tunnel doesnt seem to work with docker driver on wsl.. ?

[@asifadam93]

Nice video, thanks

[@RockyScenes]

the github doesn't contain up to date info. For example, the readme doesn't show the servicename and kubectl commands. I tried manually entering them but they don't work . I get "k: command not found" Edit: I realized it's because you have k as an alias for kubectl

[@harsh55]

Kubectl proxy command is the equivalent of minikube tunnel. You could also look at configuring an ingress resource

Hi , How can I access kafka deployed in kubernetes from offshore explorer?

[@shellcasing1040]

When you run "helm install" how does helm know where to deploy the stuff? Like in which cluster?

[@DevOpsJourney]

It uses your kubeconfig context, same way as kubectl

[@SHAHZADKHAN-by8sf]

Also you can use labels

You can store functions and templates in there that your other resources may commonly make use of. It's for more advanced helmcharts - I rarely use it.
