What is Helm?

[@riadhgharbi7985]

One of the cleanest explanations of any tech I've seen lately, kudos

[@jovanperovic5399]

This exact topic aside, this is one of the best tutorial/explanation videos I have seen in a looong long time! 👏👏👏

[@AlexZ005]

Then helm is a package manager for K8s. This allows you to create or reuse complex deployments by a single command. Templates are using values which can be easily changed in one file, whereas Tiller combines everything together and feeds into Kubernetes.

[@sathish2406]

This is the best and best of all helm videos which is explained so simply and clearly on why and how helm works with K8

[@hudsonlima8031]

There is no way to watch this video and not subscribe to the channel right after. What an excellent explanation!

[@davidokun2968]

inb4 BUT HELM 3 DOESN'T NEED TILLER I know :] I promise to learn a little more and retrofit some of this information to future videos.

[@PaulCristianMartin]

Thank you very much ibm cloud. One week ago I didn't understand docker. Now I installed my first K8s cluster, and looking forward to implement helm :D

[@muratasarslan2359]

Helm 3 version of this video would be great!

[@mangeshbharsakle5847]

Tiller is removed from Helm 3 because of security reasons (too much power in k8s cluster create, update, delete.....)

[@FEAR_IsTheMindKiller]

I found myself very distracted thinking about how good he is at writing backwards.

[@joseluisromero6311]

so did I, until i realize that the image is mirrored.

[@jhirn2957]

No hate but why is IBM putting out some of the best docker/k8 vids on the tube

[@aggiekai2425]

Thank you for doing this very clear and crisp radio to explain Helm. what I really like about this video is the usage of the drawings to explain a very confusing cons. However I feel this video could have been very useful to me if the same person who demonstrated using diagrams would to explain the same process. That will complete the full round of understanding.

[@DavidRBrowncom]

Short and Straight to the point. Very understandable! THANK YOU!

[@davogrady]

Great video. Im kinda freaked out on how he was able to do all that with the writing reversed in his view. 10/10

[@Brandon-youtube]

its not reversed... its the lightboard

[@shiplu.mokaddim]

This is really a nice video to explain helm. Not sure why it doesn't have that much views.

[@sukurcf]

The best explanation on Helm.

[@shinochono]

Thanks for great explanation. I was having a hard time understanding Helm from the official website and documentation.

You're welcome, Amit!

Thank you so much! Finally find a nice explanation to helm!

[@YT-yt-yt-3]

Good explanation. Side note - you look like one of the avatar in JIRA lol.

[@KomalShaw-f1w]

Explained the concepts so well..

[@randomarins12]

In a fully automated process to scale up or down the PODs in K8 cluster , from where the helm gets the instruction to push a new deployment?

[@anilpatil8299]

Nice example on helm chart concept. 👏

Thank you guys, you helped me a lot

[@aefwon3936]

Not sure if Terraform or HELM was earlier , but looks like both are similar earlier it was tough for me to understand HELM

[@vickyanand5898]

So, can we say helm chart is like configuration management tool ? where conf is placed as key - value pair and can be CRUD from UI itself , without changing anything in code .

[@ReflectionOcean]

Helm helps to create templates for K8S configurations and install/upgrade K8S deployment at runtime

[@pratikshitsingh415]

Great explanation! Is Helm currently a industry standard for deploying K8S applications?

[@MrKumargopalan]

Amazing video. Can't explain any clearer. Well done.

[@raghunathmahakud4270]

Is it possible to stop helm upgrade or how to do immutable config map using helm with kubernates v1.13

[@K2ThaYo]

Good video dude. I know how hard it is to present stuff behind a lightboard,even when you absolutely know what you are talking about. You could have mentioned the atomic flag for automatic rollback to the previous working version.

[@donkhan5452]

Curious about the whiteboard tool used to draw the diagrams. I've seen other IBM videos using this. How are the diagrams done?

[@IBMTechnology]

Search on "lightboard videos"

[@fhussains]

what hardware do you use for this type of presentation where you write on whiteboard and it appears on the video as transparent glass ???

[@mchannel1365]

just to update, tiller doesn't exit anymore for Helm 3 onwards

[@anusree114]

Now there is no more Tiller right ?

Hi, Kudos for the wonderful presentation. I would like to know the differences between Helm and Kustomize. The general differences is what I am looking for instead of the technical differences. Can someone help?

[@vonzox]

Hi! Great tutorial. Had anyone tips how yo automate helm-cd automaticly? I guess w flux or argo but they can be quite heavy into small ecosystems.

It's still hardcoded in values.YAML, isn't it?

[@arig2519]

My question is why do we need to use Helm or Vagrant or some other package manager when things can work without these?

[@AnilShrish]

Why is helm2 video released now, since helm3 is already out? Someone who is starting fresh do you still recommend to start with helm2 ?

explanation on point! thanks

[@vamseenath1]

Thanks for your explanation. Really appreciative! if we have a multiple deployments, services then the value.yaml file contains deployment-1 , deployment-2,svc-1,svc-2? Can you also cover Helm-3? differences between helm-2 and helm-3?

[@IBMTechnology]

Yes the values.yaml file could contain variables used by multiple different deployments. We may do a video covering Helm 3 in the future, thanks for the suggestion!

[@SimonBaynes]

Do IBM provide specialist training so people can write backwards?

[@IBMTechnology]

Well actually, we don't write backward. Here is a blog post we wrote that explains how we do it. ➞ ibm.co/2LTPMjo

[@CarloL525]

Excellent content!

port 8080 for a nodeport is not possible AFAIK, should be above 30000, am I wrong ?

[@SergejJaremchuk]

NodePort can only use ports 30000-32767. Example may be misleading

Great explanation. I assume the video was mirrored and you're not some sort of superhero that can write backwards?

[@IBMTechnology]

Did he write backward or its kinda vfx?

[@ukaszolszowy7640]

wouldn't it be easier to rotate the screen vertically 180deg, instead of learning to write backwards? ;)

[@shanewang1683]

Didn't anyone else ask you to take the mask off? Kidding... This is an awesome video with your awesome explainations.

[@herculanoooo]

This became a complex thing when you work with CICD workflow.

[@MySasasasasasasasas]

Bien explicado!

[@nvasudeva]

Nicely explained ! 2 follow up questions: a) So if we are replacing the values with helm variables assuming that the IT personal will just need to update the Helm configuration or Helm yaml file then why the person cannot do the value replacement within the kubernetes yaml file? Isn't it that we are just transferring the task of updating kubernetes yaml file to updating the Helm yaml file? b) Does anyone know how this video was recorded.. i mean how he is able to use a mirror to demonstrate the entire topic?

[@harryspooner]

for your question a, i guess it does boil down to whether the person who operates the cluster knows where to look for in the yaml file. Also sometimes you're not just changing one single yaml file, from my understanding helm solves the issue of complex projects where it is not straightforward where changes need to go

[@deadzombies4496]

What I want to know is how this man is able to write everything backwards so well?
