What is Chkk?

Chkk 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 OSS projects. Chkk accelerates upgrade execution by more than 10× while eliminating last‑minute surprises.

​
Why Chkk?

  • Pre-Verified, Safe Upgrade Workflows - Chkk generates on-demand, AI-curated workflows that are tested and structured to eliminate risks.
  • Purpose‑Built Action Engines – Convert high‑level intent into precise, auditable infrastructure changes across code, clusters, and collaboration systems.
  • AI-Powered Insights - Uses up-to-date data from breaking changes, deprecated APIs, and dependency shifts to create a highly contextualized upgrade plan.
  • Coding‑Agent Integration – Environment‑aware Upgrade Context delivered directly to your AI coding agents, enabling them to open ready‑to‑merge pull requests so you can simply review and hit Merge.
  • Durable & Repeatable Execution - Backed by a workflow engine that ensures safe, structured, and repeatable upgrades.
  • Broad Ecosystem Compatibility – Works across cloud and on‑prem Kubernetes environments and supports EKS, GKE, AKS, and hundreds of OSS projects. Check Support for details.

Safe Upgrades with Curated Workflows

Traditional runbooks and best practices quickly become outdated or inconsistently applied, leading to operational drift. Chkk Upgrade Copilot solves this by enabling teams to generate Highly Contextualized, AI-Curated, Long-Running, Safe Upgrade workflows on demand—ensuring every upgrade is structured, tested, and risk-free. When a user initiates a request, Chkk Upgrade Copilot dynamically generates a contextualized Upgrade Template, tailored to their specific infrastructure. Behind the scenes, Chkk:
  • Reviews all release notes to identify relevant breaking changes.
  • Analyzes dependencies and incompatibilities to generate a pre-verified upgrade sequence, mitigating risks.
  • Tracks deprecated APIs, configurations, and features to ensure compliance and stability.
  • Executes Actions via Action Engines—applying IaC patches, creating pull requests, opening Jira tickets, running pre‑/post‑flight validations, and more.
  • Provides real-time visibility and actionable insights, as a sequence of steps so teams can execute upgrades with confidence.
  • Continuously Governs & Closes-the Workflow monitors until success criteria are met and emits audit‑ready reports.
By transforming upgrade research, validation, and execution into sequenced, repeatable workflows, Chkk ensures that operational knowledge isn’t just documented—it’s standardized, executed, and scaled across the organization.
