Pre-requisite: HELM Package Manager

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that allows you to install, upgrade, and manage applications on your Kubernetes cluster. With Helm, you can define, install, and upgrade your application using a single configuration file, called a Chart. Charts are easy to create, version, share, and publish, so you can collaborate with your team and the larger Kubernetes community.

There are many charts available in the Helm stable repository, which is maintained by the Helm community, and you can also find charts from other sources or create your own custom charts. Helm makes it easy to automate the deployment and management of applications on your Kubernetes cluster, so you can focus on building great software.
