Readiness Checks

Chkk’s Readiness Checks feature—part of the Upgrade Copilot—verifies health and safety at each stage of an upgrade by running checks both before and after each change. These checks ensure that add-ons, configurations, and workflows align with your organization’s best practices. Chkk delivers them through two complementary methods:

1. Guided Checks (Manual)

Ideal for one-off or specialized validations, Guided Checks offer step-by-step instructions you can copy and run. This hands-on method ensures your team can inspect unique configurations on-demand without altering automated workflows.

2. SHARC Checks (Automated)

For recurring or broadly applicable validations, Chkk uses its SHARC (safety, health, and readiness checks) framework. SHARC Checks integrate seamlessly into Upgrade Plans, tracking each run with a unique flow ID and mapping results back to your upgrade workflow. You can also request new SHARC-supported checks for specific add-ons or configurations, tapping into Chkk’s expansive library of SHARC packs.

By embedding these checks into each preverified upgrade plan—tested on a digital twin of your infrastructure—teams can identify potential issues early, reduce overall risk, and accelerate safe rollouts across single or multiple clusters.
