In Helm3, helm cli acts as a an interface to connect with for Kubernetes cluster to deploy and manage helm charts. It also supports configuring multiple chart repositories to the helm client and access charts from those charts repos for installation. The repositories can be a local chart server running on the same machine as well a third party chart server running elsewhere. The URL of the chart server is can be configured to on the helm repo list to access the hosted helm charts. User can add a repository and push helm charts under the repository to be accessed during installationvia helm cli commands.
Example: configured chart repos and the available charts are listed via helm cli:
...
- Kubernetes cluster running.
- Helm cli running.
- Helm charts are either stored in the local storage via k8s-participant's exposed REST interface or pushed to any of the helm repos that are configured on the helm cli.
Note: Incase of containerization of kubernetes participant in upcoming release, the kubeconfig file of required kubernetes cluster should be copied to the k8s-participant's docker container in order to make helm cli work with the cluster outside.
