So the base image is older, and we are supposed to update and reboot,
got it. Not entirely sure where exactly do the reboot to not kill
running stuff on the node. Could you point me to some howto, please?

Just an idea, would it be possible to have an option to have fully
updated image when asking for EC2 instance via duffy to save time and
resources? Not sure if others would see this useful, but we definitely
would. RFE?

Thank you for explanation,
Vladimir
