Can any one clarify this, is auto updating at all production servers recommended or not? need to know your opinion, how do you manage the update?
I've worked on projects where backend configuration files changed in syntax or architecture between releases, which were released as updates... so I know for a fact updates can break a running system.
I always disable auto-updates on production systems, and run the updates during a schedule maintenance window.
