yum updates on base OS

[sozotech]

Is it recommended to run yum updates on cpanel servers for other software/kernel updates or do you just let upcp update the control panel and related software and let the rest go?

I am just curious what the best practices are?

Hello

Yes, it's recommended that you update your system packages with YUM. You can complete this via:

yum update

This will ensure you are able to update your kernel and other system software not associated with cPanel.

Thank you.
