During Installation of Helm3 stable, i found Helm3 stable does not implement tiller deployment for fetching cluster details, it works as a Client utility only, my question is it, if it is not implementing tiller concept for fetching details, how does it connect with EKS.
I have already installed kubectl and it is running fine, is it something like this, helm client is dependent on kubectl service?
I performed following steps: 1.helm version version.BuildInfo{Version:"v3.1.0", GitCommit:"b29d20baf09943e134c2fa5e1e1cab3bf93315fa", GitTreeState:"clean", GoVersion:"go1.13.7"}
2.kubectl create serviceaccount tiller --namespace kube-system serviceaccount/tiller created
3.notepad rbac-config.yaml
4.kubectl apply -f rbac-config.yaml clusterrolebinding.rbac.authorization.k8s.io/tiller-role-binding created
5.helm init --service-account tiller Error: unknown flag: --service-account
I know steps 2,3,4 are not required in Helm3, but curious to know how helm3 interacts as a client service with EKS cluster.
Just like kubectl, helm also uses kubeconfig to communicate with the cluster.
So, both kubectl and helm depend on the cluster's config file rather depending on each other.
