Is this a joke? And if not can you give a longer description of how this is easily done? How do you transfer all configuration to the new system and how often

Is this a joke? And if not can you give a longer description of how this is easily done? How do you transfer all configuration to the new system and how often are you doing this?

No not a joke. I've done this many times. Use a server image as the base which uses the latest version of the OS and core packages and then have your own custom install scripts that initialise the new server with the elements you need from the latest versions. Getting those scripts right is the key part. Once these are set up, standing up new servers and burning old ones is a cinch. Anything that's not in a repo or package needs to live off-server, possibly in a cloud
