In this second module of our Advanced Kubernetes course, we will dive deeper into Helm, the powerful Kubernetes package manager. It has three main parts: Helm CLI, which is like a control center; Helm Charts, which are like app packages; and Helm Repositories, where you find and share these charts. Together, they simplify app deployment and management in Kubernetes.
