Developing Charts

Introduction to Containers 1 © Copyright IBM Corporation 2017


Creating a Chart
• Creating a new chart generates a directory with sample files

• By default, a chart starts with sample templates for a Kubernetes deployment and service
 In the simplest case, just edit the file

How Install Uses Charts
• The main step of installing a chart is rendering its templates

• How Helm installs a chart


1. User runs an install in the Helm CLI

2. Helm CLI loads the chart into Tiller


3. Tiller renders the templates
4. Tiller loads the resulting resources into Kubernetes
5. Tiller returns the release data to the client
6. The client exits

• Rendering the templates


 Each template generates a Kubernetes resource manifest file (yaml)
 Tiller runs each of the template files, generating the resource files

• Tiller then loads the resources—as described by the manifests—into the Kubernetes cluster

Chart Lifecycle Hooks
Hooks Hooks in the Helm Install Lifecycle
• pre-install 1. User runs an install in the Helm CLI
 Executes after templates are rendered
 Before any resources are created in Kubernetes
2. Helm CLI loads the chart into Tiller
• post-install
 Executes after all resources are loaded into Kubernetes 3. Tiller renders the templates
• pre-delete
 Executes before any resources are deleted from Kubernetes 4. Tiller executes the pre-install hooks
• post-delete 5. Tiller loads the resulting resources into
 Executes after all of the release’s resources have been
deleted Kubernetes
• pre-upgrade
 Executes after templates are rendered
6. Tiller executes the post-install hook
 Before any resources are loaded into Kubernetes
7. Tiller returns the release data to the client
• post-upgrade
 Executes after all resources have been upgraded 8. The client exits
• pre-rollback
 Executes after templates are rendered
 Before any resources have been rolled back • A hook can be any Kubernetes resource
• post-rollback  A hook is often a Kubernetes job
 Executes after all resources have been modified
 Goes in the directory

Sharing Charts
• A chart is a directory
 Easy for a Helm client to use the chart directories on the same computer
 Difficult to share with other users on other computers

• Packaging a chart
 Bundle and related files into a tar file

• Chart repository
 HTTP server that houses an file and optionally some packaged charts
 Server can be any HTTP server that can serve YAML and tar files and can answer GET requests
− Ex: Google Cloud Storage (GCS) bucket, Amazon S3 bucket, Github Pages, or even create your own web server
 To add a chart to the repository, copy it to the directory and regenerate the index
