Can you elaborate on the concerns with helm?
- temikus 8y agoIt’s probably referring to people using Chef cookbooks blindly without any knowledge of how to configure or maintain the service itself. I have interacted with people who run production workloads via Helm but struggle to do very basic things with kubectl (like recreating a service). This is an argument that can be used for any high level abstraction, however. I guess Chef is used since they have very good testing tools so Cookbooks are relatively more stable than other CM definitions. Until things go wrong with the service that is.
- tlarkworthy 8y agoThat community sourced cookbooks are security nightmares or under maintained. I cannot see how helm charts can stay quality without a curated app store.
- geggam 8y agoAny unmaintained infrastructure as code piece will quit working. Success I have had with chef has been generating my own cookbooks that dont try to do everything for every OS
- tlarkworthy 8y agoYes exactly. Everything tends towards rolling your own.
- ridruejo 8y agoThanks for the clarification. The official Helm charts go through a thorough community review process. We (Bitnami) are committed to making high-quality, up-to-date Helm charts. You can check https://hub.kubeapps.com https://hub.kubeapps.com
- tlarkworthy 8y agoI would be so happy if you pulled it off
