Welcome

Welcome to the Helm documentation. Helm is the package manager for Kubernetes, and you can read detailed background information in the CNCF Helm Project Journey report.

How the documentation is organized

Helm has a lot of documentation. A high-level overview of how it’s organized will help you know where to look for certain things:

• Tutorials take you by the hand through a series of steps to create your first Helm chart. Start here if you’re new to Helm.
• Topic guides discuss key topics and concepts at a fairly high level and provide useful background information and explanation.
• Community Guides discuss topics centered around Helm’s community. Start here if you want to learn more about the development process of Helm itself and how you can contribute.
• How-to guides are recipes. They guide you through the steps involved in addressing key problems and use-cases. They are more advanced than tutorials and assume some knowledge of how Helm works.
