Helm provider hands-on

It is exciting to introduce this aspect of Crossplane. It is precisely the crossroads where it unifies infrastructure automation and application automation. After creating an infrastructure resource, we would be interested in doing additional operations. For example, after deploying a Kubernetes cluster, we would be interested in setting up Prometheus or deploying an application in the remote Kubernetes cluster. Helm Crossplane provider can perform this operation.

Similarly, after provisioning a database, we will be interested in creating tables. SQL provider can perform these activities from Crossplane. The examples open a way to define all application dependencies in Crossplane and package them along with infrastructure. This section will go through a hands-on journey to experiment with Crossplane Helm provider. We will use GCP to create a Kubernetes cluster. It will fit well within the free tier limits.
