This pattern helps you to manage Kubernetes applications efficiently, regardless of their complexity. The pattern integrates Helm into your existing continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines to deploy applications into a Kubernetes cluster. Helm is a Kubernetes package manager that helps you manage Kubernetes applications. Helm charts help to define, install, and upgrade complex Kubernetes applications. Charts can be versioned and stored in Helm repositories, which improves mean time to restore (MTTR) during outages.
This pattern uses Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) for the Kubernetes cluster. It uses Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) as a Helm chart repository, so that the charts can be centrally managed and accessed by developers across the organization.
