Chkk is the smarter and safer way to upgrade Kubernetes. Designed to eliminate the complexity of navigating dependencies, managing configurations, and upgrading Addons, Chkk ensures every upgrade is seamless, reliable, and risk-free.

​
What is Chkk?

Chkk is an Operational Safety Platform for Kubernetes and its vast ecosystem of Addons. It leverages Knowledge Graphs, Risk Signature Databases, and Agentic AI systems to proactively identify hidden dependencies, unknown incompatibilities, and potential risks before they cause failures. By generating pre-verified, AI-curated upgrade workflows on demand, Chkk Upgrade Copilot provides teams with structured, safe, and efficient upgrade plans—speeding up the upgrades by 3x to 5x while eliminating last-minute surprises and disruptions.

​

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Traditional runbooks and best practices quickly become outdated or inconsistently applied, leading to operational drift.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.
  • Provides real-time visibility and actionable insights, as a sequence of steps so teams can execute upgrades with confidence.

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.
