[Deploy Helm Charts in order of dependencies]

I am deploying multiple helm sub-charts in Kubernetes Cluster through Helm and tiller. How can I make sure that a particular chart completely installs its containers before starting to install other charts and their containers?

I looked into requirements.yaml and hooks, none of them look like can be the solution I am looking for.

I have multiple sub-charts, and want to make sure containers of App1 are up and ready before helm installs other charts and its containers.

You should look into helmfile and split your stack into one helmfile per application. Since helmfiles inside a folders are applied in an alphabetically order you can ensure the order through file naming conventions.

File structure:

helmfile.d/
  00-app-1.yaml
  01-app-2.yaml
  02-app-n.yaml

Execute it with this command: helmfile -f path/to/directory

Under the covers, Helmfile executes helm upgrade --install for each release declared in the manifest
