# Helm Controller
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The Helm Controller is a Kubernetes operator, allowing one to declaratively manage Helm chart
 | 
						|
releases with Kubernetes manifests.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The desired state of a Helm release is described through a Kubernetes Custom Resource named `HelmRelease`.
 | 
						|
Based on the creation, mutation or removal of a HelmRelease resource in the cluster,
 | 
						|
Helm actions are performed by the controller.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Features:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Watches for `HelmRelease` objects and generates `HelmChart` objects
 | 
						|
- Fetches artifacts produced by [source-controller](../source/controller.md) from `HelmChart` objects
 | 
						|
- Watches `HelmChart` objects for revision changes (semver ranges)
 | 
						|
- Performs Helm v3 actions including Helm tests as configured in the `HelmRelease` objects
 | 
						|
- Runs Helm install/upgrade in a specific order, taking into account the depends-on relationship
 | 
						|
- Prunes Helm releases removed from cluster (garbage collection) 
 | 
						|
- Reports Helm releases status (alerting provided by [notification-controller](../notification/controller.md))
 |
