Chkk Upgrade Copilot automates every phase of your upgrade cycle — from parsing release notes and diffing Helm charts to mapping CRD, dependency, and config changes. Our agent flags breaking changes, EOL risks, and critical defects early and identifies incompatible components and API deprecations. It then couples these insights with parameter‑driven Blueprints, orchestrated by durable Workflows, and executed through purpose‑built Action Engines to deliver safe, predictable upgrades at scale for 100s of Cloud Native Projects. Chkk accelerates upgrade execution by more than 10× while eliminating last‑minute surprises. Upgrade Copilot delivers three complementary capabilities:
  1. Upgrade Assessments map the scope, impact, and dependencies of a Cloud Native upgrade so teams can scope effort and delegate work early.
  2. Upgrade Templates provide a detailed, pre-verified workflow tested on a digital twin of your infrastructure. Templates can be generated directly or derived from an Assessment.
  3. Upgrade Plans instantiate a Template for a specific cluster, orchestrating each verified step while tracking progress, rollbacks, and post-flight checks.
