Packaging: Helm 3 & Kustomize
Two complementary tools manage manifest complexity. Helm 3 uses templating plus chart packaging plus release lifecycle management. Kustomize uses structured overlay files that transform base manifests
Learning objectives
- Explain what problem Helm's templating and Kustomize's overlay approach each solve, and how their underlying philosophies differ.
- Explain what a Helm chart's values file actually customizes, and how that differs from Kustomize's patch-based approach.
- Choose between Helm and Kustomize (or use both) for a given packaging and multi-environment deployment need.
