Helm

Essentially, Helm is a package manager for K8s. Helm Charts are configuration files designed for K8s to help define, install and upgrade complex K8s applications.

Helm brings below features:

  1. Predictable deployments.
  2. Maintains “Bill of Materials” of all the pods that work together to deliver the application.
  3. Keeps (forces) a team to stay synchronised.
  4. Strong version control.
  5. Easier testing and QA.
  6. Rollbacks on an application level, not just a one-off pod level.

Hyperledger Bevel uses Helm Charts for designing and configuring the architecture of each DLT/Blockchain platform for its own network set-up.
