Role of Helm repository in CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins and Kubernetes

I am trying to learn the implementation of CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins and Kubernetes for my Spring Boot microservice deployment.

I following the following links for references,

  1. https://dzone.com/articles/easily-automate-your-cicd-pipeline-with-jenkins-he
  2. https://medium.com/jfrogplatform/easily-automate-your-ci-cd-pipeline-with-jenkins-helm-and-kubernetes-c96283c25701

Here I am finding the way that to use Kubernetes Helm chart for simplifying application deployment. In the aboev link it showing that, to use one Helm repository along with Docker registry (I am planning to use Dockerhub.com).

Confusion

Here my confusion is that, If we are using Helm chart with Kubernetes, then why to use Helm repository for my CI/CD pipeline?

Solution

  • You will need to use Helm repository to store your Helm charts.

    More details you can find in The Chart Repository Guide document.
