Helm worked fine for me when using `ingress-nginx`. You're absolutely correct that using kube2pulumi is not easy to read. If you're using AWS I think you can set up an elastic load balancer to do the work for you

I initially stayed away from Helm as well and just used the yaml file with transformations. But it became painful so I decided to go with Helm. The Pulumi API with Helm isn't too bad actually, and Pulumi applies the helm resources as just kubernetes resources so you don't really need to know anything about Helm works
