Helm
Package and release Kubernetes apps — standard for MLOps and platform teams.
Maturity level: L2 — Can Build
Six perspectives on Helm
Roadmap
Learn right after Kubernetes — required for real MLOps platform work.
Architecture
Packaging layer between CI/CD and running cluster workloads.
Company
Common in MLOps and platform engineering postings alongside Kubernetes.
Projects
Never deploy to K8s without a chart or equivalent.
Interview
Chart structure, upgrades, and environment management.
Career
Separates hobby K8s from production platform engineering.
What & Why
What: Package manager for Kubernetes that templates and versions cluster deployments.
Why: Raw YAML does not scale. Helm charts are how teams ship KServe, MLflow, and internal platforms.
Build this
Package your inference service as a Helm chart with dev/staging/prod values.
Production reality
- ! Failed upgrades
- ! Template sprawl
- ! Secret handling in charts
- ! Version skew across envs
Interview preparation
- Helm vs Kustomize
- How do you promote a chart from staging to prod?
- Templating best practices
Connected skills
Explore Helm in the interactive universe or train with live cohorts.
