Congrats to Gabe and the whole Deis team on the acquisition.
For folks not familiar with Helm, it's basically apt-get for Kubernetes, but with the ability to deploy complex multi-tier systems. It has now graduated out of the Kubernetes incubator.
And their Workflow product (also open source), is basically the smallest piece of software that lets you run Heroku buildpacks on top of Kubernetes. So, you can get a 12-factor PaaS workflow, and still have the full Kubernetes API underneath if and when you need it.
Update: And I left out my all-time favorite piece of marketing collateral, their Children's Illustrated Guide to Kubernetes (available both as children's book and video): https://deis.com/blog/2016/kubernetes-illustrated-guide/
(Disclosure: I'm the executive director of CNCF and Gabe has been a super valuable member.)
