Software-update: Helm 4.0.0

Helm is een populaire packagemanager waarmee voorgeconfigureerde Kubernetes-resources, oftewel Charts, kunnen worden opgezet, beheerd en gedeeld. Helm kan via Brew, Chocolatey, Scoop of Snap worden geïnstalleerd, en binaries kunnen op GitHub worden gevonden. Enkele dagen is versie 4.0.0 uitgekomen en de belangrijkste veranderingen die daarin zijn aangebracht zijn hieronder voor je op een rijtje gezet.

Compatibility with Helm v3

Helm v4 is a major version with backward incompatible changes including to the flags and output of the Helm CLI and to the SDK. Please evaluate the changes to your workflows. The changes are not as extensive as those from Helm v2 to v3, with the goal that the majority of workflows remain compatible between Helm v3 and v4.

Helm charts apiVersion v2 (majority of today's charts) will continue to be supported in Helm v4. Existing charts should continue to install, upgrade, and otherwise work. Please test the installation and upgrade of charts to ensure it works as expected. Changes (e.g., server side apply) may impact the experience.
