Chkk’s Template Regeneration feature lets you quickly refresh an Upgrade Template that has grown stale or needs to reflect new enterprise-specific feedback. If an existing template sits unused for too long—perhaps due to shifting priorities or postponed upgrades—Chkk can generate a revised version aligned with the constantly evolving Kubernetes ecosystem. Upon requesting regeneration, Chkk automatically re-analyzes the previous recommendations and publishes an updated generation of the same template, ensuring you always benefit from the latest guidance. Regeneration also comes into play when you override recommended versions for certain add-ons, application services, and Kubernetes operators based on internal policies. For example, if your organization requires upgrading all add-ons, application services, and Kubernetes operators to the latest release, you can provide that feedback to Chkk, then use Template Regeneration to produce a fresh set of recommendations that blends your policies with Chkk’s research. This way, your upgrade strategy remains consistent with your organization’s rules while still incorporating Chkk’s continually refreshed insights.
The Template Regeneration option only appears after a user has used the Comments feature to leave a Comment for Chkk.
