How do you deploy Kubernetes and applications? Kubespray, Helm?

Tools commonly used for deploying Kubernetes and applications include:

• Kubespray — a set of Ansible scripts for automatically deploying a Kubernetes cluster on various infrastructures (bare metal, clouds). It allows flexible cluster configuration and is suitable for production.

• Helm — a package manager for Kubernetes. It enables describing, installing, and updating applications in the cluster through charts. It is convenient for managing complex applications with many components.

In a typical scenario:

1. Kubespray is used for deploying and configuring the Kubernetes cluster itself.
2. Helm is used for installing and updating applications within the cluster.

Example of installing an application via Helm:

helm repo add stable https://charts.helm.sh/stable
helm install myapp stable/nginx

Thus, Kubespray is responsible for the infrastructure, Helm for the applications.
