# Expose HELM charts as Service Specifications
Manage Helm charts installations via OpenSlice Service Specifications and Service Orders.
## Intended Audience: Service Designers


> Kubernetes is an orchestration system for automating software deployment, scaling, and management. One can interact though the Kubernetes API and it has a set of objects ready for use out of the box. 
> Helm is a tool that automates the creation, packaging, configuration, and deployment of Kubernetes applications by combining your configuration files into a single reusable package
> At the heart of Helm is the packaging format called charts. Each chart comprises one or more Kubernetes manifests -- and a given chart can have child charts and dependent charts, as well. Using Helm charts:
>       - Reduces the complexity of deploying Microservices
>       - Enhances deployment speed
>       - Developers already know the technology
> There are many Helm charts and Helm repositories there that are ready to be used
