hey richard, i'm only half way completed the course but I wanted to thank you how brilliant job you did explaining these complex concepts. it's been a while since I took a video course and you surely didn't disappoint me.

[@RichardChesterwood]

Ah great to hear it's useful - good luck with it!

[@duckhanhnguyen6921]

Thank you Richard. Your channel is very helpful. You make it clear and easy for understanding. Tks a lot !

[@RichardChesterwood]

Ah thankyou very much, delighted to hear the videos were good for you! Good luck with Helm, all the best!

[@bojana1215]

Thank you Richard 😊. I previously bought your Istio course. The best explained course ever. You are a real talent. And now accidentally on KZbin found this small Helm course. Thank you again.

[@RichardChesterwood]

Aw many thanks for those kind words! I really need to start getting some more material up here on KZbin! Hope the Istio course has been useful for you. hopefully a new course coming in 2024! All the best and many thanks, Rich.

Richard, you have a tallent to explain complicated things in really clear and easy way. Brilliant job. Thanks a lot!

[@RichardChesterwood]

Many thanks Nikolay, this series was difficult to record so it's lovely to hear when the videos are useful. All the best!

[@eduardovasquez7974]

Totally agree! Thanks

Hello Rechard - I wanted to extend a big thank you for your fantastic Helm Chart Series As a newcomer to Helm and currently working on migrating Jenkins to an EKS cluster using Helm, your tutorials have been a lifesaver. Your clear explanations and easy-to-follow steps have made learning Helm enjoyable. I'm really appreciating the wealth of knowledge you're sharing. I'm definitely planning to grab a couple of your Udemy courses, and if there's a way to treat you to a coffee, I'd love to know! Thanks again for your great work. - Altif

[@RichardChesterwood]

You're really kind Altif, many thanks! Always lovely to know when the videos are useful. It'd be great to "see" you (virtually!) on the udemy courses - I hope they're useful too! Good luck with Helm (and the udemy courses!)

[@DevOpsHawk]

@@RichardChesterwood Hey Rechard, Hope you're doing well ! Thank you and I'm thrilled to hear from you! I've actually enrolled in your k8s courses on Udemy. It might not be a huge contribution, but I'm happy to support you in any way I can. Looking ahead, I'd love to contribute more and share the word about your fantastic work on LinkedIn - hope that's okay with you 😉. It's truly wonderful to connect with you virtually. Thanks once again for all your amazing efforts. -- Altif

[@samarelsayed9347]

Love your way of explaining this and I hope you will be doing Minicourses for argocd and istio soon

[@RichardChesterwood]

Many thanks Samar, I do have a full course on Istio at Udemy and VirtualPairProgammers, I don't have a mini course on it but thinking about it, I could publish the short demo that I do at the start of that course as a mini course - definitely worth thinking about. I've no plans yet for argocd but definitely one for the list, many thanks for the suggestion! All the best!

[@assiakhateeb8475]

thank you, thank you million times

[@RichardChesterwood]

It's a great pleasure Assia, many thanks for your kind words!

[@silvanrohrbach3425]

Thank you very much for every video in this playlist! Superb stuff!

[@RichardChesterwood]

You're very kind, many thanks I'm glad it's useful for you!

[@colinceazeye3954]

Just because of the way you do well, I just buy your course on udemy. Thanks

[@RichardChesterwood]

Ah wonderful, many thanks - I hope the course is useful for you, good luck with it!

[@VinceBaker]

I love the way you can explain stuff. There is only one other instructor I know does this (DevOps Guy) and in my opinion he doesn't do it as well as you.

[@RichardChesterwood]

You're very kind Vince! Sometime I'm not sure if I'm sure of what I'm talking about(!) so it's always a relief to hear when the videos work. All the best and good luck with Helm etc!

[@JamesPeiris2011]

Agreed. Compared with "That DevOps Guy" / "TechWorld with Nana" / KodeKloud k8s tutorials by "Mumshad Mannambeth" I think Richard's format (direct, concise, informative, minimalist) is by far my favourite and most conducive to learning. I do though really like the KodeKloud animations when it comes to explaining things at a high-level (e.g. in the CKA course)

[@chevvavinodkumarreddy]

Is there any way to write automated shell script to pull helm charts from artifactory and push it to ecr repository with proper tagging.can you suggest any reference do you have.

[@RichardChesterwood]

Hi, I'm not aware of anything prebuilt - sounds like a fairly easy job for a shell/bash script or similar. I'd give this a go if I had time but sorry I'm close to some deadlines right now - but hopefully someone will see this and have an idea to suggest. All the best!

[@channel_4872]

thx again for this tutorial series

[@shameekagarwal4872]

since the customization happens anyway via a separate myvalues.yml why doesnt helm use something like a package.json / pom.xml? i mean the source code downloaded by helm is pretty small, but maybe there is a reason for them to not go down that route and i am missing something...
