Release
A release is a running instantiation of a chart, to which a specific config was applied. Whenever a chart is installed, a new release is created. One chart can be installed multiple times into the same cluster, and each can be independently managed and upgraded.

Dependency
- If I rely on a dependency referred from an external Helm repository, and the repository exposes newer versions, can I still rely on the fact that the old version is still available? I might not want to upgrade to the "latest", but keep using a version I tested with and was proven stable.
Runtime
The Helm Client
The client is responsible for managing charts.
The Tiller Server
The server is responsible for managing releases.
Tiller stores release information in ConfigMaps in the namespace where it is running.
