how to package a kubernetes application

Question

What is the way to package a kunernetes application?

Answer 1

Helm is a package manager which allows users to package, configure, and deploy applications and services to the Kubernetes cluster.

helm init  

when you execute this command client is going to create a deployment in the cluster and that deployment will install the tiller, the server side of Helm

The packages we install through client are called charts. They are bundles of templatized manifests. All the templating work is done by the Tiller

helm search redis # searches for a specific application
helm install stable/redis # installs the application
helm ls # list the applications
