helm-controller

The helm-controller is a Kubernetes operator, allowing one to declaratively manage Helm chart releases. It is part of a composable GitOps toolkit and depends on source-controller to acquire the Helm charts from Helm repositories.

The desired state of a Helm release is described through a Kubernetes Custom Resource named HelmRelease. Based on the creation, mutation or removal of a HelmRelease resource in the cluster, Helm actions are performed by the operator.

Features:

• watches for HelmRelease objects
• fetches artifacts produced by source-controller from Source objects
• watches Source objects for revision changes
• performs Helm actions as configured in the HelmRelease
• runs HelmReleases in a specific order, taking into account the depends-on relationship

Specifications:

• API
• Controller
