I think Helm is sold short when it's described as apt-get for kubernetes. I think it's probably substantially closer to chef/salt/puppet for k8s, with a little bit of apt-get in the form of service dependency management. Pulling down the binaries is all handled by docker, but reusing and retooling config files is where Helm's real strength is, IMO.
I use Helm on a couple different projects as an integral part of CI/CD for templating config files and Ingress resources. Coupled with a good CI/CD system (I'm using GitLab), Helm templating is pretty critical in my workflow for creating demo applications (one per PR) at some specific endpoint/dns but then after integration, moving the updated code out to multiple DNS endpoints, etc.
Congrats to the team, and I look forward to seeing where Helm can go from here!
