Technical requirements

For this chapter, you will need the following tools:

• minikube
• kubectl
• Helm
• Git

We will use minikube to explore several examples throughout this chapter, so feel free to start your minikube environment using the following command:

$ minikube start

Once minikube has started, create a new namespace for this chapter:

$ kubectl create namespace chapter7

If you have not already cloned the example git repository in previous chapters, clone the repository by running the following command:

$ git clone https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Managing-Kubernetes-Resources-using-Helm.git

Next, let’s understand the basics of a Helm hook and explore an example of running one.
