Rabbitmq Helm Chart (2024)

FAQs

How to deploy RabbitMQ using Helm chart? ›

A Chart is a Helm package. It contains all of the resource definitions necessary to run an application, tool, or service inside of a Kubernetes cluster. Think of it like the Kubernetes equivalent of a Homebrew formula, an Apt dpkg, or a Yum RPM file. A Repository is the place where charts can be collected and shared.

Let's say you're trying to find the list of packages in https://charts.helm.sh/stable/ . Just add index. yaml to the URL, so you get https://charts.helm.sh/stable/index.yaml . This contains a list of everything in the repo.

A RabbitMQ node is the basic "message broker" service (process running on a server) which provides core RabbitMQ features such as exchanges, virtual hosts, queues, etc. You need at least one RabbitMQ node to be up-and-running, to use RabbitMQ. A RabbitMQ cluster is simply a grouping of one or more RabbitMQ nodes.

RabbitMQ, a popular open-source message broker, facilitates the sending and receiving of messages in a distributed system. Kubernetes, on the other hand, is a container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.

Docker provides a convenient way to run RabbitMQ without the need to manually install and configure RabbitMQ on your local machine or server. By using Docker, you can easily deploy RabbitMQ in an isolated container environment, which simplifies setup, testing, and scaling.

RabbitMQ is an open-source message broker that acts as an intermediary for microservices to exchange data. It uses the Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) to ensure reliable and efficient communication. RabbitMQ allows you to decouple services, making them more scalable and resilient.

But managing Kubernetes applications across the development lifecycle brings its own set of challenges, including version management, resource allocation, updating, and rollbacks. Helm provides one of the most accessible solutions to this problem, making deployments more consistent, repeatable, and reliable.

What exactly is Helm chart? ›

A Helm chart is a set of YAML manifests and templates that describes Kubernetes resources (Deployments, Secrets, CRDs, etc.) and defined configurations needed for the Kubernetes application, and is also easy to deploy in a Kubernetes cluster or in a single node with just one command.

Package/push and then deploy

This is the recommended approach when using Helm. First, you package and push the Helm chart into a repository, and then you deploy it to your cluster. This way your Helm repository shows a registry of the applications that run on your cluster.
