⬡ The chart is a bundle of
information necessary to
create an instance of a
Kubernetes application.
⬡ A release is a running
instance of a chart,
combined with a specific
config.
⬡ The Helm Client is a
command-line client for end

Key concepts
⬡ The Tiller Server is an in-
cluster server that interacts
with the Helm client, and
interfaces with the
Kubernetes API server.
⬡ Helm Hub is a cloud public
repository for built Charts.
