Helm Package Manager
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
|prod-long| supports Helm v3 package manager for Kubernetes that can be used to
|
|
securely manage the lifecycle of applications within the Kubernetes cluster.
|
|
|
|
.. rubric:: |context|
|
|
|
|
Helm packages are defined by Helm charts with container information sufficient
|
|
for managing a Kubernetes application. You can configure, install, and upgrade
|
|
your Kubernetes applications using Helm charts. Helm charts are defined with a
|
|
default set of values that describe the behavior of the service installed
|
|
within the Kubernetes cluster.
|
|
|
|
A Helm v3 client is installed on controllers for local use by admins to manage
|
|
end-users' Kubernetes applications. |prod| recommends to install a Helm v3
|
|
client on a remote workstation, so that non-admin (and admin) end-users can
|
|
manage their Kubernetes applications remotely.
|
|
|
|
Upon system installation, local Helm repositories \(containing |prod-long|
|
|
packages\) are created and added to the Helm repo list.
|
|
|
|
Use the following command to list these local Helm repositories:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
~(keystone_admin)]$ helm repo list
|
|
NAME URL
|
|
starlingx `http://127.0.0.1:8080/helm_charts/starlingx`
|
|
stx-platform `http://127.0.0.1:8080/helm_charts/stx-platform`
|
|
|
|
Where the `stx-platform` repo holds Helm charts of StarlingX Applications \(see
|
|
next section\) of the |prod| platform itself, while the `starlingx` repo holds
|
|
Helm charts of optional StarlingX applications, such as Openstack. The admin
|
|
user can add charts to these local repos and regenerate the index to use these
|
|
charts, and add new remote repositories to the list of known repos.
|
|
|
|
