## Helm3 Architecture | ||
|
||
### Client Only Architecture | ||
|
||
> Helm 3 has a client-only architecture with the client still called helm. As seen in the following diagram, it operates similar to the Helm 2 client, but the client interacts directly with the Kubernetes API server. | ||
> Helm 3 is a single-service architecture. One executable is responsible for implementing Helm. There is no client/server split, nor is the core processing logic distributed among components. | ||
> Implementation of Helm 3 is a single command-line client with no in-cluster server or controller. This tool exposes command-line operations, and unilaterally handles the package management process. | ||
### ***The implementation has two distinct parts:*** | ||
|
||
1. The command line façade, which translates commands, subcommands, flags, and arguments into a Helm operation | ||
2. The Helm library, which provides the logic for executing all Helm operations. | ||
|
||
### **By design, the Helm library must be usable as a standalone library.** | ||

### Install Helm version3 | ||
|
||
``` | ||
curl -fsSL -o get_helm.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/master/scripts/get-helm-3 | ||
chmod 700 get_helm.sh | ||
./get_helm.sh | ||
``` | ||
|
||
``` | ||
root@kube-master:~# helm version --short | ||
v3.0.2+g19e47ee | ||
``` | ||

## Helm2 Architecture --- ***Not Used Anymore*** | ||
|
||
> **Helm2 has two major components:** | ||
>> ***The `Helm Client` is a command-line client for end users. The client is responsible for the following domains:*** | ||
* Local chart development | ||
* Managing repositories | ||
* Interacting with the Tiller server | ||
* Sending charts to be installed | ||
* Asking for information about releases | ||
* Requesting upgrading or uninstalling of existing releases | ||
|
||
|
||
>> ***The `Tiller Server` is an in-cluster server that interacts with the Helm client, and interfaces with the Kubernetes API server. The server is responsible for the following:*** | ||
* Listening for incoming requests from the Helm client | ||
* Combining a chart and configuration to build a release | ||
* Installing charts into Kubernetes, and then tracking the subsequent release | ||
* Upgrading and uninstalling charts by interacting with Kubernetes | ||
|

|
||
### In a nutshell, the client is responsible for managing charts, and the server is responsible for managing releases. | ||
