The list will only show deployments available in other template versions, for migration purposes. The ones that are already associated with your target version will not be displayed.

Kubeark allows for multiple deployments to be selected, including deployments associated with different versions

After selecting the desired option, a new page will be displayed, providing you with the ability to add and configure the necessary parameters for your updated template. When configuring the parameters for your updated template, Kubeark offers flexibility as follows:

  • Option 1: select from a list of pre-existing parameters that are available in your target template
  • Option 2: define your own custom parameters, tailored to meet the specific requirements of your updated template
  • Option 3: use a combination of pre-existing parameters and newly defined custom parameters.

If there are no changes to your parameters, you also have the option to leave the existing parameters intact.
