  We need a faster "Bake and sign" when we made some modifications for specific hosts.
  Then we need a "Bake and sign" for only these specific hosts, not for all which needs to much time.

  for explicit host is as well needed, because the bakery didn't recognize our changes and does not bake the new agent

  We use the same approach.
  We disable the Bakery before an update and after update we enable it folder by folder where we have a folder per country.
  Mainly you have the following filter to enable Bakery:
  
  Match site
  Match folders
  Match Host Tags
  Match Host Groups
  Match only the following hosts
  Exclude the following hosts
  
  I dont need anything else so far. Feel free to discuss with me in the forum

  At the moment we have the problem that we cannot separate cleanly between the different OS, we would like to map e.g. the following:
  - tag os_linux AND tag servicelevel_silver -> update
  - tag os_windows -> update
  - tag os_solaris -> no update
  
  At the moment you can only select one tag at a time, which is a bit too inflexible.
  It would be nice to make the whole rulebased, as in the rest of Checkmk.

  In the current process, the ‘Bake agents’ always updates all agents that have undergone a change. As we work in a multi-user environment, it often happens that different users have made different changes. As a result, all users must always agree before a ‘Bake agent’ is executed.
  
  If I make changes to the configuration, I want to be able to determine when these changes are applied to which hosts. I would like to be able to select a group of host then click on an ‘Update agents’ button, as with ‘Confirm problems’ and 'Schedule downtimes'.
  
  This would make us much more flexible and allow us to roll out changes first to a limited group of hosts before rolling them out to the masses.

  This goes in a similar direction like this idea
  
  https://ideas.checkmk.com/suggestions/304092/agentupdater-allow-waves-of-updating
  
  In the end, we simply need an easy-to-use function that allows us to control exactly when which agents are updated on which servers.

  +1 from me. Especially as this is already possible on the CLI.
