The package manager for Kubernetes to define, install, and upgrade complex applications

Overview

Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes. Instead of managing dozens of individual YAML files (Deployments, Services, ConfigMaps), Helm allows you to package them all together into a single unit called a Chart.

Why use Helm?

Templating: You can use variables (values.yaml) to inject configurations dynamically across environments (e.g., changing image tags or resource requests for dev vs. prod).
Versioning & Rollbacks: Helm keeps track of release history, allowing simple helm rollback commands if an upgrade fails.
Easy Sharing: You can easily distribute your ML deployment architecture as a single Helm Chart.

TODO: Add helm template, helm install, and values.yaml setup examples.
