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

## Introduction

In this lesson we’ll learn how to become a Helm chart developer. This is an essential skill that helps us to prepare a Helm chart for any application that we build, that is not available in Artifact Hub. 

We’ll build a simple Kanban application that consists of two parts, the frontend and backend. Its source code can be found on GitHub at wkrzywiec/kanban-board. For the moment we’ll be using Docker images for both of them. Here is an illustration of what we should have after this part of the course:
