Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Why would you deploy a blockchain network on Kubernetes instead of managing it manually? Kubernetes and Docker abstract away much of the complexity of setting up blockchain infrastructure by packaging protocols and network components (like Ethereum clients, miner nodes, and block explorers) into container images. Deployment becomes a matter of selecting images, writing YAML manifests, and running helm install, lowering the barrier for teams without deep distributed-systems expertise. _Explore more on daily.dev if you're weighing container orchestration options for complex distributed systems._ ### How did Webjet use Helm charts to manage its blockchain network? Webjet, an online travel agency built through acquisitions, worked with Microsoft to map blockchain network elements to Kubernetes constructs via Helm charts. This let them update network artifacts such as miner nodes, bootnodes, and network dashboards, and gave them the ability to launch new networks, upgrade artifacts, and back up or restore entire network states. _daily.dev surfaces real-world case studies for teams evaluating Helm-based upgrade strategies._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Medium](https://daily.dev/posts/medium-htpmregrn) · Medium · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [EP185: Docker vs Kubernetes](https://daily.dev/posts/ep185-docker-vs-kubernetes-cvv2yno3a) · ByteByteGo · 11 upvotes · 1 comments - [What job interviews taught me about Kubernetes](https://daily.dev/posts/what-job-interviews-taught-me-about-kubernetes-x9bmnlspb) · Lobsters · 5 upvotes · 0 comments - [Enterprise Kubernetes Isn’t a Cluster.
