Bitnami charts for Helm are carefully engineered, actively maintained and are the quickest and easiest way to deploy containers on a Kubernetes cluster that are ready to handle production workloads.

In IBM Cloud, you can configure your installation from the Create tab, and then install it with a single click instead of executing the Helm installation directly. Your Helm Chart is installed by using IBM Cloud Schematics, and after the installation is complete, you can view the chart instance, update the version, or uninstall from your Schematics workspace.
