I would like to nominate Martin Hickey as a Helm org maintainer, as described in the Helm Org Governance document: https://github.com/helm/community/blob/main/governance/governance.md

Martin is a long-standing community member, a maintainer on multiple Helm projects, and an excellent ambassador of the Helm community.

Per the governance documents, this begins the three-week nomination process, which will end on June 15, 2021. At that time, a private Condorcet-style vote will be taken, in which all maintainers for all Helm projects are eligible to vote once. Martin must obtain a 2/3 majority of those that voted.

[HIP] Dynamic Chart Dependency Overrides

David Mládek <david.mladek.cz@...>
 

Hello everyone,

Based on discussion in an issue I have decided to write up a HIP for allowing dependency overrides during helm install/update operations.

Details can be seen in the merge request linked below, but this would have to be aimed at Helm v4 because of feature dependency on actual consistent resolving of dependencies during install/update. Otherwise I believe this proposal to be fairly straightforward. Syntax would be similar to `--set`.

https://github.com/helm/community/pull/176

I would appreciate any feedback on this.

Best regards,
David Mládek
Re: jsonnet/tanka helm templating

Matt Fisher <matt.fisher@...>
 

Re-sending as a reply-all.

Hi Andrey,

Have you read through the threads on github? This particular discussion topic has been discussed at length.... Probably once every few months I'd say at least.

I'd highly suggest reading through some of those threads as it may influence many of the design discussions in your HIP.

To clear up some things: Helm 2 had a selectable engine interface since its inception. Chart.yaml provided an optional engine​ field. The Rudder gRPC API made it possible to implement a remote template renderer. But after 5 years of development and advocating it to many community members, nobody wrote an alternative template engine. The engine interface never saw any enhancements, changes, or refactors. So we removed it in Helm 3 as the code had gone stale, and the design did not fit into the new model with Tiller/Rudder being removed.

One primary concern with prior proposals was they did not provide a solution to the "one size fits all" problem. Some proposals argued that a chart could declare the need for an alternative template engine that does not exist in mainline Helm, relying on a "plugin" model to handle template rendering. That discussion led to further debate on how plugins could be resolved, how the API contract will fit in, how the user is expected to install the right rendering engine for their chart, etc.

Discussing your ideas in a HIP would be worthwhile, but I do want you to understand that this topic has been discussed in the past. I look forward to the proposal.

Matt

Hey!


I want to make a feature HIP to add jsonnet templating to helm. Specifically, I want helm to have tanka-like functionality with plugged kubernetes libs.

Motivation:
1. go templates have lots of well-knows drawbacks
2. adding "pluggable" engine will have very narrow scope: 
- general purpose charts would have to use go templates to stay portable
- you can’t add plugged-in (default) libraries for each and every engine, like tanka std library
3. jsonnet + libs solves two main helm templating problems:
- lots of boilerplate code (labels, annotations, name overrides etc.)
- hard to read error prone yaml + go templates syntax

What do you think?

Re: How are people estimating efforts for developing and maintaining Helm chart based product releases?

Loritsch, Berin <bloritsch@...>
 

Helm definitely has some wrinkles, and I've run into a few.  So I would recommend separating your tasking.  For example:
  • Writing docker files and helm charts are separate activities, they deserve separate estimates
  • Design your helm chart--identify what needs to be externally configured to include it in a larger deployment?  That's a separate estimate that you might be able to apply the results across all your services (if you have a microservices environment)
  • Writing the chart itself--design for the fresh install scenario
  • Do your deployment testing
You do have to understand one thing: Helm templates kubernetes YAML files.  Helm owes its ability to upgrade in place to the underlying kubernetes infrastructure.  Kubernetes YAML files are declarative, not procedural.  In other words you declare what you need, not how to make it happen.  The helm command line will make sure the right calls are invoked to get your desired infrastructure, but it's Kubernetes doing the heavy lifting.  In theory fresh installs and upgrades don't look any different to a Kubernetes cluster.

You do need to test those scenarios, but they shouldn't be separate tasking.

Regarding CI/CD, I recommend you look into the various Continuous Deployment tools for Kubernetes clusters.  For example, FluxCD and/or ArgoCD both work with Helm and manage your configuration and deployment for your environment(s).  Your Continuous Integration platform of choice builds the different packages (containers and helm charts) and deploys them to your local repository (like Sonatype Nexus or JFrog Artifactory).  Your CD tool of choice pulls those new packages from that repository and updates your deployments as necessary.

It's a lot of moving parts, but each part does have a specific purpose.

This is a somewhat open ended question but I am looking for some real world, practical knowledge/experience about effort estimation for developing and maintaining Helm chart based products.

Helm3 is supposed to make deployment of applications to Kubernetes platform easy. The helm install/upgrade/rollback single commands to do the deployments on the surface make it sound easy. But this is slightly deceptive though. The actual process involves:

  • Development of
    • Docker files
    • Helm Charts
      • Fresh install use case
      • Upgrade use case
      • Evolution of values files from release to release
  • Automation of builds on CI
    • Build Docker images
    • Build Helm packages
  • Automation of testing with built Docker images using the helm chart
    • testing fresh installs
    • testing upgrade
      • implement backup before upgrade strategy
    • testing rollbacks
      • implement restore after rollback
  • Implementation of tag and helm chart versioning pre-test and for release
  • Build and prepare release artifacts for Docker images and Helm package
  • Supporting fresh installs
    • Documentation of the values files and process
  • Supporting upgrades
    • Documentation of the values files evolution for customers previous version of values files and process of backup, upgrade
    • Dealing with upgrade failures implement recovery using backup/restore and helm rollbacks

I am looking for information like what effort estimation/story points estimation  strategies people are using. 

Practically, how many people are working in your teams on the full development lifecycle discussed above. Of course this may vary from team to team and product to product. All aspects above may or may not apply to your projects.

I think how to estimate java, dotnet, frontend projects is relatively well as we have been developing those for some time.

Do you have any insights to share?


Thanks.
