    I have not had any auto update in my entire career but i have always been on the infra side so it was never just my app. Though I do wish the update/outage process would be updated to reflect kubernetes and not just think of everything as monolithic servers.

  It’s extremely common…most production lines I’ve ever been to only do manual updates on equipment, if any at all.
