What's the best approach when it comes to updating a production(on ec2) machine that can't go down?
- by Ryan Detzel
We have three main servers on ec2, web, database, and search. I logged in today to find:
77 packages can be updated. 45 updates
are security updates.
which scares the crap out of me so I want to update these machines asap but I'm scared to just run the updates on a live running system. Is this safe to do, what's the best approach when it comes to doing security updates on production machines?
