kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder v4.11.1 on GitHub

🚀 Keep Your Scaffold Updated

The migration guide covers upgrading from any version to the latest, including AI-assisted helpers/commands for legacy scaffolds that may require manual steps. For the smoothest path, enable the AutoUpdate Plugin (uses GitHub Actions) or run kubebuilder alpha update locally—both use the same update logic. The other options are primarily for older projects missing cliVersion in the PROJECT file as a one-time step to reach a supported version; after that, you can rely on these workflows for ongoing updates.
