Technical requirements

This chapter requires 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 by running the following command:

$ minikube start

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

$ kubectl create namespace chapter6

If you have not already cloned the example Git repository in previous chapters, do so by running the following command:

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

Now that your environment is set up, let’s explore this chapter’s first topic—Helm templating.
