Kubernetes

Helm is a package manager for packaging, deploying, and version management of Kubernetes applications. It was first developed by Deis (now Microsoft) in 2015, joined CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) in 2018, and has become the most widely used deployment tool in the Kubernetes ecosystem. Helm performs a similar role in Kubernetes as apt or yum in Linux or Homebrew in macOS. It bundles complex Kubernetes manifest files into packages called Charts, enabling installation, upgrade, and rollback with a single command while automating environment-specific configuration management and dependency handling to significantly reduce deployment complexity. ...

Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform that Google open-sourced in 2014. It is now managed by CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation) and has become the de facto standard for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. Production environments configure multi-node clusters for high availability, but single-node clusters are sufficient for development, testing, and learning purposes. This guide covers the entire process of building a single-node Kubernetes cluster using kubeadm on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. ...
