Helm
Helm is the de-facto package manager for Kubernetes: it lets you package, distribute and install complex applications (with their deployments, services, ConfigMaps, secrets…) as a single artefact called a chart.

A chart is a set of parameterisable YAML templates (via a `values.yaml` file) describing the Kubernetes resources to create. Helm handles versioning, upgrades, rollbacks and dependencies between charts.
It is one of the graduated projects of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and is used to distribute nearly every tool in the Kubernetes ecosystem (Prometheus, ArgoCD, cert-manager, ingress controllers…).
