Release

Helm Glossary - 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.

Repository Operations

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.
