# 一、release介绍
在以上的章节中曾介绍过 helm 的两大术语：chart 和 release。如果可以把 chart 比作程序源码的话，那么 release 则可以看做是程序运行时的进程。
chart 是用户可直接感知的对象（其表现形式就是 .tgz 格式的压缩包）；而 release 理解起来则比较抽象，它是专属于 helm 的一个逻辑概念，用来标识在 k8s 中运行的一组资源。有了 release，helm 在操作 k8s 时，就再也不用逐个管理资源，而可以将一组相关的资源当做一个整体来操作，比如删除或升级。
# 二、release查看
代码语言：javascript复制$ helm ls
NAME NAMESPACE REVISION UPDATED STATUS CHART APP VERSION# 三、release安装
在线安装指定的 chart，比如 nginx-ingress。
代码语言：javascript复制$ helm repo add nginx-stable https://helm.nginx.com/stable
$ helm repo update
$ helm search repo nginx-ingress

如果想修改运行时 release 的配置，可以使用 --set 或者 -f 选项进行修改。
基于命令行更新
代码语言：javascript复制# mynginx-ingress 是上面创建的 release 名；nginx-stable/nginx-ingress 是在线 chart 名
$ helm upgrade --set controller.hostNetwork=true mynginx-ingress nginx-stable/nginx-ingress
Release "mynginx-ingress" has been upgraded. Happy Helming!

REVISION: 2
TEST SUITE: None
NOTES:
The NGINX Ingress Controller has been installed.基于文件更新release
如果想基于文件来更新 release，则首先需要将 chart 下载到本地，然后手动修改 chart 的 values.yaml 文件。
$ helm pull nginx-stable/nginx-ingress
# 下载 chart
$ tar zxf nginx-ingress-0.9.3.tgz
# 解压缩 chart
$ sed -i 's/hostNetwork: false/hostNetwork: true/g' nginx-ingress/values.yaml
# 修改 values.yaml 内容。比如修改 hostNetwork 的值为 true
$ helm upgrade mynginx-ingress nginx-ingress -f nginx-ingress/values.yaml
Release "mynginx-ingress" has been upgraded. Happy Helming!
