> The thing that will kill Kubernetes, though, is Helm. I'm out of time to write this comment but I promise a thorough analysis and rant in the future ;)
Too much of a cliffhanger! Now I want to know your pow :)
Ever since Microsoft acquired the company behind Helm and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11922299 (try clicking the article link), it has been used as a showcase when onboarding azure customers, to somehow prove that "yeah azure is hip and we love open source".
I don't know why anyone uses Helm. I've done a fair amount of stuff with k8s and never saw the need. The builtin kustomize for is simple and flexible enough.
I use Helm because I haven't found another tool that deletes resources in the cluster when I delete them from the yaml. kubectl --prune is unstable and super buggy. I would love to ditch Helm. Is there a tool I should know about that covers this?
