My Love-Hate Relationship with Helm
- Helm is a popular Kubernetes package manager that simplifies grouping Kubernetes resources into units for easy deployment.
- Helm charts define all the resources needed to run applications like Grafana or MySQL in a Kubernetes cluster.
- Challenges with Helm include complex YAML configuration, potential for configuration overrides, and manual resource tracking.
- Cyclops, an open-source framework, addresses Helm issues by offering a UI for Helm charts and using Modules for configuration persistence.
- Cyclops allows for the migration of existing Helm releases to Modules without disrupting deployments.
- To install Cyclops, users can follow simple commands and access the UI to manage Helm releases more efficiently.
- Migrating Helm releases to Cyclops Modules involves referencing the Helm chart, tweaking configurations, and deploying without impacting existing resources.
- Cyclops provides centralized configuration management, resource visibility, and avoids conflicts when multiple users are working on deployments.
- Future plans for Cyclops include extending support beyond Helm to accommodate various configuration languages like Kustomize, KPT, or Cue.
- Users can join the Cyclops Discord server for updates and engage with the team for any queries or feedback.
