AWS EKS no tiller pod found but helm install is working

4/24/2020

I read that to use Helm I need to install Tiller to my cluster. But I tried to install my release using helm and it succeed, even though there is no Tiller pod in my EKS cluster. The pods I found in the namespace "kube-system" are:

aws-node coredns kube-proxy

Do I need it or I miss something? Thanks.

Check the helm version.Tiller was necessary in Helm 2 but Helm 3 does not have tiller. Check the announcement blog.
