Helm Broker

Overview

The Helm Broker is an implementation of a service broker which runs on the Kyma cluster and deploys applications into the Kubernetes cluster using Kyma bundles, and the Helm client. A bundle is an abstraction layer over a Helm chart which allows you to represent it as a ClusterServiceClass in the Service Catalog. For example, a bundle can provide plan definitions or binding details. The Helm Broker fetches bundles definitions from an HTTP servers. A list of HTTP bundles repositories is defined in the config map and can be changed in the runtime.

For the details about Helm Broker configuration, see this document. See How to create a bundle and Binding bundles to learn more about the bundles. The Helm Broker implements the Service Broker API. For more information about the Service Brokers, see the Service Brokers overview document.
