Helm

When I started migrating to Kubernetes (K8s) I discovered that I can use Terraform for managing not only the infrastructure, but also I could define the K8s objects in it, but I also could use Helm to handle that. But what would be a good way to handle this? In this post we will cover Terraform and Helm for managing Kubernetes clusters with some code snippets and an idea on how you can use them together to get you started.

This article applies to: Helm v3.8.0 Helm helps you manage Kubernetes applications — Helm Charts help you define, install, and upgrade even the most complex Kubernetes application. More details on Helm and the commands can be found in the official documentation. Assuming you use Helm to handle your releases, you might end up in a case where the release will be stuck in a pending state and all subsequent releases will keep failing.
