I've use Helm before, but I see some projects now are supporting a new plugin manager called Krew. Specifically, minio, provides a Krew package.

What is the difference between Krew and Helm? How do they compare?

They do different things,

  • Krew is a plugin manager for kubectl the client-side cli tools for Kubernetes. For example, minio uses Krew becuase it provides kubectl minio which is the MinIO Kubernetes plugin.
  • Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes. This is allows you to install software (mostly through Kubernetes operators) onto your cluster.
