Question: Best practice for upgrading Trivy Operator with Helm

[gvachon-ep]

Good day,

I have been using the Trivy Operator for the past six months across several Kubernetes clusters. It has been a great experience and a very powerful tool for identifying vulnerabilities, helping us update much faster where necessary.

There is one area I’m unsure about, and I’d like to clarify:

I install the Trivy Operator using Helm and update it about once a month. I’ve been following the documentation here:
Upgrade guide

The docs state:

“However, at this stage we do not provide automated upgrades. Therefore, uninstall the previous version of the operator before you install the latest release.”

So my current process is:

• Uninstall Trivy Operator.

• Manually remove all CRDs as described here: Uninstall guide

• Reinstall the new version with my values.yaml.

My question is: Is this still the recommended approach, or is there now a way to safely use helm upgrade --install instead of fully uninstalling and reinstalling?

Thanks in advance for clarifying!
