Helm and the Packaging of Kubernetes Applications
Helm gave Kubernetes applications a package abstraction called charts, evolving from a 2015 Deis project through Tiller, Helm 3, OCI registries, CNCF graduation, and today's Helm 4 era.

CNCF turned vendor-neutral stewardship, open technical governance, and project maturity stages into an institutional model for cloud infrastructure that many competing companies could share.
Kubernetes translated lessons from Google's Borg and Omega lineage into an open, declarative container orchestration system whose community governance helped make it a portable cloud infrastructure standard.
Containers evolved from operating-system isolation mechanisms into a standardized application packaging and deployment model, then became the unit managed by cluster systems such as Kubernetes.
