How do I manage state and backends for Helm charts in Chef?

Managing state and backends for Helm charts in Chef involves using Chef's capabilities for configuration management alongside Helm's functionalities for Kubernetes deployments. By leveraging the integrated tools within Chef, such as Chef Infra and Chef Habitat, you can create a seamless workflow for maintaining Helm chart states.

Here's a simple method to do so:

# Define your Helm chart in a Chef cookbook helm_chart 'my-app' do repository 'https://charts.example.com' action :install end # Use the Chef state management alongside Helm node.default['my_app']['version'] = '1.0.0' helm_release 'my-app-release' do chart 'my-app' version node['my_app']['version'] namespace 'default' values({ 'replicas' => 2 }) action :deploy end
