Helm chart for Flink

[Pedro Silva]

Hello,

Does flink have an official Helm Chart? I
 haven't been able to find any, the closest most up-to-date one seems to be
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/flink-on-k8s-operator.
Is this correct or is there a more mature and/or recommeded helm chart to
use?

Thank you.

Hi Pedro,

There is currently no official Kubernetes Operator for Flink and, by
extension, there is no official Helm chart. It would be relatively easy to
create a chart for simply deploying standalone Flink resources via the
Kubernetes manifests described here[1], though it would leave out the
ability to upgrade your Flink application via Helm.

If you need upgrade capabilities (which most people do) *and* need to use
Helm, the Kubernetes Operator approach is the only option for an
"all-in-one" experience. In addition to the GCP Operator you mentioned,
there's also a Helm chart for Lyft's Operator by lightbend[2] as well as an
operator for the Ververica Platform with support for Helm that I've built
here[3].


Are you already running Flink on Kubernetes, or just looking to get started
easily?

Best,
Austin

Sorry @dev list for the pings – I misread which thread I was replying to.

used for developers working on Flink itself. Please use
