You can now start deploying software. To find available charts you can use the search command.

For example, to deploy Redis we need to find a Redis chart.

./helmc search redis

We can identify more information with the info command.

./helmc info redis-cluster

Use the install command to deploy the chart to your cluster.

./helmc install redis-cluster

Helm will now launch the required pods. In the next step we'll verify the deployment status.

Helm deploys all the pods, replication controllers and services. The pod will be in a pending state while the Docker Image is downloaded. Once complete it will move into a running state. You'll now have a Redis Cluster running on top of Kubernetes.

Use kubectl to find out what was deployed.

kubectl get pods

kubectl get rc

kubectl get svc
