Or asked the other way around: How long do you keep your servers running without installing any software updates?

update means something like

sudo dnf update

or something …

apt-get upgrade
apt-get update

    All services are dockerized, updated nightly.

    Server OS runs a kernel-patch service for real time exploit patching.

    All other updates as soon as they appear.

    Yeah, sometimes I’ll need to go in a repair - but that’s way better than having to clean up after having been exploited due to not keeping up on security patches.
