Morten Torkildsen 82d01cb312 fix(helm): Merge nested values correctly on upgrade (#4806 ) Upgrading a release and override existing values doesn't work as expected for nested values. Maps should be merged recursively, but currently maps are treated just like values and replaced at the top level. If the existing values are: ```yaml resources: requests: cpu: 400m something: else ``` and an update is done with ```--set=resources.requests.cpu=500m```, it currently ends up as ```yaml resources: requests: cpu: 500m ``` but it should have been ```yaml resources: requests: cpu: 500m something: else ``` This PR updates the way override values are merged into the existing set of values to merge rather than replace maps.

Helm

Helm is a tool for managing Kubernetes charts. Charts are packages of pre-configured Kubernetes resources.

Use Helm to:

Find and use popular software packaged as Helm charts to run in Kubernetes
Share your own applications as Helm charts
Create reproducible builds of your Kubernetes applications
Intelligently manage your Kubernetes manifest files
Manage releases of Helm packages

Helm in a Handbasket

Helm is a tool that streamlines installing and managing Kubernetes applications. Think of it like apt/yum/homebrew for Kubernetes.

Helm has two parts: a client (helm) and a server (tiller)
Tiller runs inside of your Kubernetes cluster, and manages releases (installations) of your charts.
Helm runs on your laptop, CI/CD, or wherever you want it to run.
Charts are Helm packages that contain at least two things:
- A description of the package (Chart.yaml)
- One or more templates, which contain Kubernetes manifest files
Charts can be stored on disk, or fetched from remote chart repositories (like Debian or RedHat packages)

Install

Binary downloads of the Helm client can be found on the Releases page.

Unpack the helm binary and add it to your PATH and you are good to go!

If you want to use a package manager:

Homebrew users can use brew install kubernetes-helm.
Chocolatey users can use choco install kubernetes-helm.
GoFish users can use gofish install helm.

To rapidly get Helm up and running, start with the Quick Start Guide.

See the installation guide for more options, including installing pre-releases.
