I use Helm only for installing “supporting applications” -elastic searchoperator, jupyterHub, etc. Our normal deployments are standard K8s configs.
These apps use Helm because a lot of the settings are complicated, Co dependent, etc.
Absolutely would not write helm charts from scratch for normal deployments, and if I got these apps in a better format than helm, I’d probably drop it immediately.
- bottled_poe 4y agoIt’s the fact that they are complicated which warrants manual configuration. If the org can’t write the configuration, how will they support it when something goes wrong? It’s a problem waiting to happen.
- FridgeSeal 4y agoI can't edit this anymore - but to anyone reading, I ought to specify that I do _not_ use Helm directly, only via Flux, our CD tool. It ablates a lot of the issues of dealing with helm charts.
