    Container Compute Service:Use Helm to manage applications in ACS

    Last Updated:Sep 17, 2026

    Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that uses packages called charts to define, install, and upgrade Kubernetes applications. This topic describes how to deploy applications and update their releases by using Helm in the Alibaba Cloud Container Compute Service (ACS) console.

    Prerequisites

    You have created an ACS cluster.

    Overview

    Alibaba Cloud Container Compute Service (ACS) integrates the App Catalog from Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK). The App Catalog provides applications that ACS adapts and redevelops from open-source software. These applications include the images, dependencies, and resource definitions required to run them. Each application in the App Catalog provides an introduction, installation steps, parameter configurations, and important notes. You can use Helm to deploy and manage applications from the App Catalog. For more information, see Use Helm to simplify application deployment.

    Deploy an application with Helm

    1. Log on to the ACS console. In the left navigation pane, click Clusters.

    2. On the Clusters page, click the name of the target cluster. In the left navigation pane, choose Applications > Helm.

    3. On the Helm page, click Deploy in the upper-left corner.

    4. In the Deploy panel, enter an application name, select a namespace, and select the chart to install. Then, click Next. In the confirmation dialog box, click Yes.

    5. On the Parameters page, select a chart version, configure the parameters, and then click OK.

    Update an application release with Helm

    1. Log on to the ACS console. In the left navigation pane, click Clusters.

    2. On the Clusters page, click the name of the target cluster. In the left navigation pane, choose Applications > Helm.

    3. On the Helm page, find the target application and click Update in the Actions column.

    4. In the Update Release panel, select a version, modify the parameters, and then click OK.

    Disclaimer

    Some applications in the App Catalog are adapted by ACS from open-source software. ACS provides full technical support for these applications. However, Alibaba Cloud does not provide compensation for business losses caused by defects inherent in the original open-source software.
