Defining a Scenario

Background

Let’s start with objectives before diving into specific tools. That will help us evaluate whether Helm fits our needs, or if we should look elsewhere. Nevertheless, there is a common theme for almost all of us, and the differences in our situations tend to be smaller than we think. Those differences are often details rather than substantial differentiation.

Most of us are deploying applications to multiple environments. We might have a personal development environment. We might have others for previews generated when creating pull requests and a few permanent environments such as, for example, staging and production. The number might differ from one company to another, and we might label them differently. Nevertheless, we all tend to have more than one environment, with some being dynamic (e.g., personal environments) and others being permanent (e.g., production).
