Helm is a popular package manager for Kubernetes (Greek for helmsman). Helm packages are called charts and contain all of the resource definitions necessary to run an application or service inside of a Kubernetes cluster.
It helps achieving the following tasks:
- Install and upgrade applications within Kubernetes.
- Define dependencies within the Helm Chart.
- Create all required Kubernetes resource definitions for the application.
- Allow customizing the installation through parameters.
In order to speed up your deployments, we have made our internal (Github) Airlock Microgateway - Helm Charts publicly available on GitHub. The Helm Chart contains all resource definitions and dependencies to deploy Airlock Microgateway in a Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster.
Follow this guide to deploy and configure Airlock Microgateway using Helm.
