Helm Charts are the artifact that Helm reads and installs in a Kubernetes cluster. We assess it under Code in the garden.

Summary

Key points: While Helm itself is a MUST if you are in the Kubernetes ecosystem that doesn’t extend to maintaining your own Helm Charts. They are nessessity to understand but there are limited use cases where you should maintain them your selves. The real only reason to do that is if you are providing customers the ability to install on their own clusters. For all other cases Kustomize is a better choice.
