Helm is an open source tool for packaging and deploying Kubernetes-based applications. Simply put, Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes, just like we have yum in Linux.
The Helm repository includes a wide variety of charts that you can download, modify, and deploy on your AKS cluster. Helm is getting very popular among Kubernetes professionals and is becoming the de facto standard for deploying AKS applications. AKS supports Helm just like any regular Kubernetes cluster would.
