Helm is an open-source package manager for Kubernetes, designed to simplify the deployment and management of applications in a Kubernetes cluster. Helm uses charts, which are pre-configured templates that describe the structure of an application and its dependencies. With Helm, developers and DevOps teams can easily deploy, update, and manage complex applications with just a few commands, reducing manual configuration and ensuring consistency across environments.

Helm charts can be customized to fit specific deployment needs, making it easier to version, share, and reuse configurations across projects or teams. Helm also supports rollback, allowing users to revert to previous versions of their applications in case of errors. Helm is widely adopted in cloud-native environments as it streamlines Kubernetes management and simplifies the deployment of multi-component applications.
