A newsletter covering DevOps, containers, and other things Developer Advocate Tao thinks are neat
This month, we're putting our focus on all things Helm, the Kubernetes package manager. And if you don't yet have your own Kubernetes cluster, we show you how you, with just 4 lines of code, can create a cluster on AWS with Pulumi.
Visualize Helm Charts
with Helm Dashboard
When you're upgrading your Helm Charts, wouldn't it be great if you could visualize the diff before upgrading? With Komodor's Helm Dashboard, you get a visual view into Helm without needing to install anything on your cluster. Yes, it's just a Helm plugin!
Validate and inspect your Helm Charts with Monokle Desktop
Highlight errors and any invalid resources using Monokle Desktop, an IDE for K8s YAML. And if you're having trouble finding which file your values.yaml file is acting on, Monokle makes it easy.
Don't have a cluster? Here for the team-up is Pulumi x Garden
In just 4 lines you can create a cluster in Python or any other language on AWS. And now, with Garden's Pulumi plugin, you can set your Helm Charts (managed by Garden, naturally), to depend on your Pulumi-created cluster 🤯!!
If you're used to Terraform, let Garden co-founder, Þórarinn Sigurðsson, give you the grand tour of Terraform vs Pulumi in his latest blogpost.
Glorious Toolkit makes moldable developer environments specific for you and your code. You kind of just need to watch this fantastic video to grok it.
If you didn't get enough Pulumi, there's more of co-founder Þórarinn Sigurðsson giving us the tour of the killer app you get when you bring Garden into the mix.

I am happiest when I help others. That’s why I’d love to help you wherever you are in your container development story, even if you’re brand new. Please reply to this email or reach out on Twitter or Mastodon if you find containers scary, unapproachable or just would like to rubberduck 🦆
