How does Helm package and manage Kubernetes applications?

Explanation & Concept

Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes. It packages YAML manifests into reusable **Helm Charts**, allowing parameterization through `values.yaml` templates.

Code Example

bash

# Install a chart with custom overrides
helm install my-release bitnami/postgresql \
  --set auth.username=dbadmin \
  --set auth.database=production

How It Works & Key Takeaways

Helm enables single-command rollbacks (`helm rollback <release> <revision>`) if a deployment introduces breaking regressions.
