I wrote a practical introduction to Helm, aimed at people who are starting to use it beyond copy-pasting charts.

The post explains:

- what Helm actually is (and isn't),

- how charts, releases, and repositories fit together,

- how installs, upgrades, rollbacks, and values work in practice,

- with concrete examples using real charts.

- and other concepts.

It's adapted from my guide Helm in Practice, but the article stands on its own as a solid intro.
