Helm

Package and release Kubernetes apps — standard for MLOps and platform teams.

Maturity level: L2 — Can Build

Six perspectives on Helm

Roadmap

Learn right after Kubernetes — required for real MLOps platform work.

Architecture

Packaging layer between CI/CD and running cluster workloads.

Company

Common in MLOps and platform engineering postings alongside Kubernetes.

Projects

Never deploy to K8s without a chart or equivalent.

Interview

Chart structure, upgrades, and environment management.

Career

Separates hobby K8s from production platform engineering.

What & Why

What: Package manager for Kubernetes that templates and versions cluster deployments.

Why: Raw YAML does not scale. Helm charts are how teams ship KServe, MLflow, and internal platforms.

Build this

Package your inference service as a Helm chart with dev/staging/prod values.

Production reality

  • ! Failed upgrades
  • ! Template sprawl
  • ! Secret handling in charts
  • ! Version skew across envs

Interview preparation

  • Helm vs Kustomize
  • How do you promote a chart from staging to prod?
  • Templating best practices
