I run ESXi on most of my systems. So that means, when there is an update of ESXi, I install the updates and reboot them.
Sometimes I need to change hardware or upgrade stuff. Then too.
I took my docker host offline yesterday, because of a RAM upgrade (16GB > 24GB, yeah, I’m aware I lost dual-channel). I regularly check for updates on non-ESXi machines.
Some people love 100% uptime of their servers. I hate it. When somebody has high uptime, it means they are lazy and don’t keep up with updates, which are critical most of the time.
