Helm has established itself as the de-facto package manager for Kubernetes, widely used across various sectors. Adherence to backwards compatibility has limited the introduction of breaking changes but has still allowed for incremental feature updates. With Helm 3 introducing significant updates like post rendering and OCI registry support, Helm 4 is now in development, aiming to evolve the tool further. Community input at KubeCon EU 2024 has steered its direction towards support for additional templating languages, expanded plugin usage, and enhanced security measures. Opportunities for community involvement include roadmap meetings, Slack discussions, and GitHub contributions.
