Helm

We use Helm charts to deploy our software.

Upgrade Helm

It is recommended to upgrade Helm (v2) to its latest version. As of this writing upgrade Helm to v2.17.0. After the upgrade of the Helm binary, run

helm init --upgrade

Then wait for 5-6 seconds and check the Helm client and server version. They should match each other.
