Kubernetes Deployments with Flux v2: Helm Basics

Note from May 2022: Helm support for OCI registries (like Azure Container Registry) is not experimental anymore. Please see https://helm.sh/docs/topics/registries/ and commands like helm push and helm push. Commands like helm chart save etc... will not work with helm 3.8 or higher. In part 5 of the series, we deploy Helm charts with Flux v2. We first deploy two Helm charts manually: a redis chart from the bitnami repository and a custom chart from the local filesystem. Next, we deploy these charts with Flux v2. The custom chart is uploaded to Azure Container Registry (ACR) and Flux v2 is configured to authenticate to ACR properly. I also illustrate the use of DependsOn to model the dependency of the app on the redis backend.
