The AKS App Store integrates Helm (V3) and provides additional features, such as a graphical interface, an official repository, and version rollbacks.
Helm is a packaging tool for managing Kubernetes applications. For more information, see the official Helm documentation.
The App Store supports the following features:
Product templates:
Private platform: Upload custom application templates, application template packages, and new versions.
Public platform: Import and manage third-party application template repositories, and copy third-party templates to the private platform.
Versioning: Automatically increments version numbers for template changes instead of overwriting existing templates.
Download templates: Download application template packages from the private platform.
NoteYou can add, delete, and edit the content of product templates on the private platform. Product templates on the public platform support only add and delete operations. To customize a product template from the public platform, you must first copy the template to the private platform.
Product releases:
Quick deployment: Select an application template from the private or public platform, customize parameters, and deploy common applications to Kubernetes with one click.
Custom parameters: Custom parameters set during template installation are retained on the installation details page and do not overwrite the original configuration in the template.
Version rollback: You can perform a one-click rollback if other successfully deployed versions of the template exist.
