Charts

Helm uses a packaging format called charts. A chart is a collection of filesthat describe a related set of Kubernetes resources. A single chartmight be used to deploy something simple, like a memcached pod, orsomething complex, like a full web app stack with HTTP servers,databases, caches, and so on.

Charts are created as files laid out in a particular directory tree,then they can be packaged into versioned archives to be deployed.

This document explains the chart format, and provides basic guidance forbuilding charts with Helm.
