You'd be surprised how close to 100% uptime you can get on one machine with well-engineered software. Schedule an automated update and reboot for a time and day

You'd be surprised how close to 100% uptime you can get on one machine with well-engineered software. Schedule an automated update and reboot for a time and day of the week you have the fewest customers monthly, and if you have an SSD as the boot drive, unless you are a huge company nobody will notice or care that at 4 AM on Sunday your service was down for a minute and a half.

- ocdtrekkie 3y agoIndeed. I come from the Windows world where things are a lot slower and there are less options for things like livepatching. So my "minute and a half downtime" is definitely pessimistic compared to what you can accomplish on a Linux server.
