Where inside the Kubernetes cluster does Helm store information about current and past application releases?

Helm stores information about current and past application releases inside the Kubernetes cluster in the form of ConfigMap or Secret objects in the namespace where the release is installed. By default, Helm uses Secrets to store release data to ensure security.

Each Helm release creates an object with metadata, manifests, and change history. This allows rolling back to previous versions and tracking the application's state.

Example command to view releases:

helm list

And to view information about a release:

kubectl get secret -n <namespace> -l "owner=helm"
