Helm Charts empower super-quick deployments of complex applications on MicroK8s.

Helm is a Kubernetes package manager that helps you find, share, and use software built for Kubernetes. With Helm Charts, you can bundle Kubernetes deployments into a single package you can install by running a single command.

This article will explain how you can deploy your favorite Helm Chart on MicroK8s in under five minutes.

What Is MicroK8s?

MicroK8s is a lightweight, pure-upstream Kubernetes aiming to reduce entry barriers for K8s and cloud-native application development. It comes in a single package that installs a single-node (standalone) K8s cluster in under 60 seconds. While MicroK8s has all the Kubernetes core components, it is also opinionated, which means that many of the add-ons you would typically look for in Kubernetes, such as DNS, Helm, registry, storage, etc. are all a single command away.

The Setup

In this demo, we’ll use the LOGIQ Helm Chart. You can also use your own favorite Helm Chart that you’d like to try out. Let’s also assume that you have access to the Linux operating system.
