They provide a convenient way for developers to distribute applications, and for end users to install those applications.

Why do we use helm?

Helm is the K8s equivalent of yum or apt. Helm deploys charts, which you can think of as a packaged application. It is a collection of all your versioned, pre-configured application resources which can be deployed as one unit. You can then deploy another version of the chart with a different set of configuration.

What is difference between Kubernetes and helm?

Helm is a package management system for Kubernetes. Using a packaging format called charts, someone can package an application--like Kafka or Apache HTTP, for example--in a format that anyone else can deploy on a Kubernetes cluster with just a few commands, while making few or no manual changes to YAML files.
