Comment on From Docker with Ansible to k3s: I don't get it...
testgoofy@infosec.pub 2 weeks agoI agree. k8s and helm have a steep learning curve. I have an engineering background and understand k8s in and out. Therefore, for my helm is the cleanest solution. I would recommend getting to know k8s and it’s resources, before using (or creating) helm charts.

Yeah - I did come down a bit harder on helm charts than perhaps I intended - but starting out with them was a confusing mess for me. Especially since they all create a new ‘custom-to-this-thing’ config file for you to work with rather than ‘standard yml you can google’. The layer of indirection was very confusing when I was learning. Once I abandoned them and realized how simple a basic deployment in k8s really is then I was able to actually make progress.
I’ve deployed half a dozen or so services now and I still don’t think I’d bother with helm for any of it.
