Working with Microservices-4: Setting up a Helm v3 chart repository in Amazon S3 for CI/CD pipeline in Jenkins

We will install Helm, and then create and manage Helm charts by integrating the Helm repository into Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). We will keep Kubernetes manifest yaml files of the microservices app in Amazon S3 anymore. Then we will be able to install the Springboot app consisting of 10 microservices on the Kubernetes cluster by running a single helm install command in the Jenkins CI/CD pipeline.

Topics we will cover:

1. What is the Helm?

2. Installing the Helm

3. Creating and working in different branches on Jenkins Server

4. Creating a Helm chart

5. Creating Amazon S3 Bucket using AWS CLI and AWS Management Console

6. Installing and Using the Helm-S3 plugin

7. Updating the version of the app using Chart.yaml file and Sending the helm chart to the S3 bucket
