As Kubernetes grows in popularity, many organizations are deploying clusters across multiple cloud providers like Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) and Google GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine). Managing applications across these environments can become complex, especially when dealing with cloud-specific configurations. Helm provides an excellent way to standardize deployments, but how can you create a single Helm chart that works for both EKS and GKE?

In this post, we’ll explore how to configure one Helm chart to deploy your applications on both EKS and GKE by using cloud-specific values and conditionals.

Kubernetes Secrets are an essential part of securing sensitive information such as passwords, API keys, and certificates. When using Helm to manage your Kubernetes deployments, there are often cases where you need to reuse existing Secrets rather than creating new ones. This is a common requirement in scenarios where Secrets are managed externally or shared across multiple applications.

In this post, we will explore how to reuse existing Kubernetes Secrets within your Helm templates, ensuring efficient management and security for your workloads.
