Course Overview
The Helm in Depth course by Open Source is designed for DevOps Engineers, Kubernetes Engineers, and Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) seeking to master application packaging and deployment on Kubernetes. This comprehensive program focuses on Helm, the de facto package manager for Kubernetes, equipping learners with the skills to define, install, and upgrade complex applications using Helm charts. As Helm is used by major enterprises like Airbnb, Shopify, and Adobe to standardize deployments, proficiency in this tool is increasingly in demand, with 72% of DevOps roles requiring Helm familiarity. The course prepares students for the Linux Foundation's Developing Helm Charts (SC104) SkillCred, validating foundational knowledge in chart creation, dependency management, and release operations.
Students engage with key technologies including Helm CLI, Kubernetes, Go templating, Helm hooks, chart repositories, and integration with GitOps tools like ArgoCD. The hands-on lab environment, conducted within a Kubernetes cluster, guides learners through building production-grade Helm charts from scratch, managing dependencies with subcharts, and implementing advanced features like pre-install and post-upgrade hooks. A core project involves creating a custom Helm chart for a multi-tier application, complete with values overrides, conditional templating, and integration with a private OCI registry, simulating real-world deployment scenarios faced by platform teams managing infrastructure at scale.
Earning the Developing Helm Charts (SC104) certification demonstrates industry-recognized expertise and can lead to career advancement, with Helm-skilled DevOps Engineers commanding salaries averaging $120,000 in the United States.
