MIAB installs OS updates automatically and the Admin tools alert you when updates have been installed and prompts you to restart the server. You can configure it to auto install updates to the MIAB install, or not. I've set mine up to not install them. This allows me to make a snapshot before installing them in case they break something. The biggest downside I've run into with MIAB running on DigitalOcean is being being blacklisted by AOL. Other services like Gmail and Outlook might send emails to a users spam folder until they mark them as "Not spam". It took me a bit of fine tuning on my end to get my "Spam Score" down to less than a point or two but that was really a good exercise to go though. There were other benefits I hadn't considered though, like the built-in DNS server that comes with MIAB. I ended up moving the DNS records for most of my sites over to it. And it manages SSL certs automatically for domains running on it, or that use its DNS server. It was time consuming to get it set up right though. I went through the process 3 times before I began to understand what was needed.
