Are you already working with Kubernetes but tired of writing all these YAML files? Especially when you need to deploy lots and lots of applications?

If so, this course is just for you. You’ll learn about Helm, a popular, CNCF graduated project that's built on top of Kubernetes. Helm is a Kubernetes package manager which helps bundle all K8s objects together. In this course, you’ll create small projects to learn about the basic concepts of Helm and gain hands-on experience in working with it. You’ll also learn how to design reusable Helm charts.

By the time you’re done with this course, you’ll be equipped with the skills required to make reliable, consistent, and scalable deployments with Helm. You’ll be able to use Helm to create, package, configure, and deploy your Kubernetes applications efficiently and effectively.

A Practical Guide to Helm

# Connect `kubectl` and `helm` with a cluster

If you’ve never connected to any Kubernetes cluster before, you should have only one configuration context. To check it, let’s run a command in a terminal, as follows:

The output will be the following:

```bash
CURRENT   NAME        CLUSTER     AUTHINFO    NAMESPACE
*         kind-kind   kind-kind   kind-kind
```

If the above command lists more than one context, we need to make sure that we switch to the correct one.

To get information about our current context, we run the following command:


Learn how to configure kubectl and helm to use the kind cluster.
