It’s probably best you avoid using Kubernetes in production for a long while. At the very least until you understand why your comment is being so heavily downvoted.
I’ve been using Kubernetes in production for over 4 years. I think I fully understand what’s going on, it’s just I have a different opinion than those downvoting me.
There's a few dozen ways to work with k8s that don't involve helm. I understand that hasn't been your experience but to deny they exist shows a lack of.
I’m not denying they exist, I’m arguing they are either inferior or do not fully substitute functionality.
It's true they do less, but that's mostly a good thing. I never use helm, just scripts and kustomize.
The one thing it misses is a way to easily delete resources.
