About Helmfile
Helmfile lets you describe many Helm releases in one declarative file and apply them together. Besides charts, it can deploy plain Kubernetes manifests and Kustomize configurations as Helm releases, so a whole environment lives in version control.
It can also generate all-in-one manifests for use with Argo CD. Helmfile is written in Go and also ships container images. It suits teams that manage several Helm releases across environments and want one command to keep them in line.
Strengths
- Many Helm releases defined in one declarative file
- Handles manifests and Kustomize configs as well as charts
- Can output manifests for Argo CD
Limitations
- Depends on Helm and some Kubernetes knowledge
- Adds another layer of configuration on top of Helm
