The Mirantis Kubernetes Engine (formerly Docker Enterprise, acquired by Mirantis in November 2019)aims to let users ship code faster. Mirantis Kubernetes Engine gives users one set of APIs and tools to deploy, manage, and observe secure-by-default, certified, batteries-included Kubernetes clusters on any infrastructure: public cloud, private cloud, or bare metal.

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that makes it easy to take applications and services that are highly repeatable and deploy them to a typical Kubernetes cluster.

To help you better understand Helm, David Okun with IBM Cloud walks through a typical scenario of using Helm to quickly define, manage and easily deploy a few different applications and services in Kubernetes on a lightboard.

We use Helm in some Kubernetes-based environments. Mainly as a solution for deploying existing solutions that come to us based on Helm. I can give as an example the NoSQL database stacks we use that are fully implemented in our containerized environments via Helm charts. This model greatly facilitates updates and customizations that eventually become necessary.

Infrastructure duplication
Customization of environments
Applying of security updates

Customization of helm charts is not a trivial thing
Too much dependent on community components.
Don't manage as should, sensitive values (depending on third apps)

Scalability
Automation
Keeping infrastructure as a code.

Speed on deployments
Source code as a documentation of our environment
Reliability since Helm is a consolidated tool with a vast of resources

We are also using Terraform for deployment, but it's more suited for new deployments and specific use cases. Helm takes the lead in terms of containers software package management, and it addresses our use case of ensuring all software packages deployment are uniform, secure - from a trusted repository, rapid deployment and rollbacks.

Templates - The ability to create templates is really helpful and help creates a baseline for package management.
Rollbacks - it is godsend. Period.
Dry-run - This really is helpful when troubleshooting deployments and is great for testing out new charts as well.

It would be great if there is verbose mode in Helm errors. Not sure if it's a thing. But more detail in the errors do helps, at times.

Reuse. Reuse. Reuse.
Templates.
Rollbacks.

Reduction in human effort.
Streamline software versions and upgrades.

Helm is the go-to tool to deploy large, complex containerized applications on Kubernetes clusters. It features a large ecosystem of ready-to-use charts, such as GitLab, MySQL, Nginx, etc., which can be deployed with a one-liner. We also use Helm to package the customer's containerized applications and help them with adopting DevOps or GitOps.
